Can Bitcoin be an inflation hedge in an era of high prices?

Inflation may lift Bitcoin’s investment appeal while higher interest rates increase the cost of holding it, an analysis cited by CryptoSlate said. U.S. CPI rose 3.7 percent year on year in September, while the 3-month Treasury yield was 4.26 percent as of Oct. 13. The report compared cash buyers, borrowers and futures, showing how interest, opportunity costs and funding rates can drive different outcomes even with the same Bitcoin price.
