Fed’s Barkin: Last Week’s Rate Hike Will Help Address Inflation
AI take
The signal here is continuity rather than surprise: a Fed official framing the recent hike as part of an ongoing effort to resolve inflation, not a one-off move. That matters for risk assets because tighter policy keeps pressure on liquidity conditions that crypto and tokenized RWA markets have leaned on. The open question is whether this tightening bias holds if inflation data soften, since that would shape the rate backdrop these markets trade against.
