"Federal Warning Triggers Large Bitcoin Prediction by BlackRock - Significant Impact Anticipated"

According to Fed chair Jerome Powell, the recession risk is on the rise, a prediction that BlackRock's Bitcoin and crypto chief, Robbie Mitchnick, sees as a potential "big catalyst" for Bitcoin's price. This possibility is rooted in the historical correlation between recessions and increased fiscal spending, deficit accumulation, lower interest rates, and monetary stimulus, all of which tend to boost Bitcoin's value.
Mitchnick also pointed to how recessions often generate fear of social unrest, increasing demand for Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset, similar to gold. However, as with any investment, there's always the possibility of risk-averse behavior among investors, leading them to sell off assets like Bitcoin, potentially sending its price plummeting.
In other news, UCLA Anderson School of Management has released its first official "Recession Watch," with chief economist Clement Bohr predicting that current economic conditions could pave the way for a deep recession, possibly penned by President Donald Trump himself. This forecast comes on the heels of BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink, an ardent supporter of Bitcoin, warning that Trump's trade policies could stoke inflation, potentially delaying the Federal Reserve's plans to cut interest rates through 2025 and raising concerns of a "stagflation"-era return, characterized by slowing economic growth coupled with spiraling price rises.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recently surpassed $100 billion in net assets for the first time in November, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) now managing around $50 billion in assets under management.
As markets continue to stagger, the debate over Bitcoin's future in a potential recession heats up. While some, like Mitchnick, see a silver lining, others are more cautious.
