IMF Keeps US 2026 Growth Forecast at 2.3%, Lifts 2027 View to 2.3%

The IMF's steady US growth outlook matters less for its headline numbers than for what it implies about the macro backdrop crypto and RWA markets are pricing against: no upgrade to near-term momentum, only a marginal lift further out. That stability cuts both ways, supporting risk appetite without signaling the reflation that typically drives sharper digital-asset moves. The open question is whether the fund's 2027 revision reflects genuine confidence or simply converging estimates, and whether subsequent IMF updates start to diverge from this flat trajectory.
