Grayscale Backs Bitcoin and Ethereum Growth 

In a recent market report, Grayscale Research highlighted factors for the decline in crypto assets making an upward projection in Bitcoin. According to the firm, Bitcoin will re-test its all-time if the United States economy avoids recessions while maintaining a path to a soft landing. Pointing to macro factors, analysts restated the users adopting Bitcoin as a haven from inflationary risk. 

At the same time, the firm believes that there is very little tolerance for a deep economic downturn, and is expecting policymakers to print and spend at the first sign of trouble. The undisciplined approach to monetary and fiscal policy is one reason why some investors choose to invest in Bitcoin; a period of economic weakness could therefore reinforce the longer-term Bitcoin investment thesis.”

Crypto assets slowed at the start of August following the US Employment report which came in weaker-than-expected. Grayscale explained that the drawback might not be tighter like in previous cycles because of the shift in several US politicians ahead of the elections.
