The US CPI year-over-year increased to 3.3% in March 2026, with inflation rising mainly due to rising oil prices and supply chain issues. Analysis indicates that Bitcoin's price is influenced by various factors such as real interest rates, the US dollar exchange rate, and liquidity, and is no longer solely used as an inflation hedge.

ME News update, April 12 (UTC+8). According to XWIN Research Japan’s analysis, the United States’ 2026年3月CPI rose to 3.3% year over year, and inflation is picking up again. The institution noted that this round of inflation is mainly driven by supply shocks such as rising oil prices and supply chain disruptions, rather than overheated demand. In this environment, BTC is no longer simply viewed as an inflation-hedging instrument; its price is more influenced by real interest rates, the US dollar exchange rate, liquidity, and changes in overall demand. In 2026, when inflation remains relatively high, BTC weakens, indicating that Bitcoin is actually trading the transmission chain of “inflation → monetary policy → liquidity → demand,” rather than inflation itself.
