Bitcoin Has Become Institutionalized, Like It Or Not 🏛️

Bitcoin’s 140% surge in the past year has all but erased memories of the crypto crash and scandals.

And now that companies like BlackRock are backing Bitcoin funds, there is a new level of comfort in the crypto.

Debating Bitcoin has come to feel futile 🤷🏻

That the token has no underlying value or few real-world uses increasingly seems beside the point.

Buoyed by a flood of new crypto products and services, Bitcoin has scaled to new heights, reaching $1.3 trillion in total market value and lifting the broader token market to $2.5 trillion 🤑

IMF Raises Global Growth Forecast 📢

The global economy is remarkably resilient, with most indicators pointing to a soft landing, the International Monetary Fund said in its world economic outlook.

That’s a relatively upbeat outlook from the world’s chief risk watcher 👍

Ahead of global policymakers convening this week in Washington for the spring IMF/World Bank meetings, the IMF raised its global economic growth forecast from 3.1% to 3.2% for both this year and next.

That’s significant in light of all the pessimism that abounds 👀

US Growth Leads The Pack 🦅

The US is on track to grow at double the rate of any other G7 country this year, according to IMF forecasts, as the strength of the world’s biggest economy rocks international markets.

Strong household spending and investment will help propel US growth to 2.7 per cent this year according to the fund’s latest World Economic Outlook.

The figure is higher than the 2.5 per cent estimated for 2023 and represents a 0.6 percentage point upgrade on the previous forecast.

The projections highlight the US economy’s role as the driver of global growth 🥇

The IMF said the next best performer in the G7 this year would be Canada, with growth of 1.2 per cent 📈

Germany’s expansion would be the weakest among the G7 at 0.2 per cent.

Japan is forecast to experience growth of 0.9 per cent, while the UK is set to expand by just 0.5 per cent after flatlining in 2023.
