According to PANews, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has issued a warning about a potential economic recession in the United States during an interview with CNBC. Fink suggested that the recession might have already begun, attributing the economic slowdown to rising economic pressures and protectionist trade policies.
While concerns about a recession typically unsettle traditional markets, cryptocurrency investors might find reasons for optimism. The anticipated economic downturn could lead the Federal Reserve to reverse its monetary tightening policies, potentially unleashing a new wave of liquidity. Analysts believe this scenario could serve as a significant catalyst for digital assets like Bitcoin.
Fink's comments align with similar forecasts from major Wall Street institutions such as JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs. Traders on decentralized prediction markets like Kalshi and PolyMarket are increasingly betting on an imminent U.S. economic recession.
