UK inflation climbed to 3.4% year-on-year through December. This uptick matters for crypto traders—central bank policy responses to inflation data directly shape interest rates and liquidity conditions that drive altcoin and Bitcoin volatility. When inflation stays elevated, the case for holding hard assets like crypto gets stronger. Worth tracking how the Bank of England reacts next, because tighter monetary policy would squeeze risk appetite across the board.

The pound has risen again, what about our BTC... If the BOE really tightens, we need to quickly review our positions.

3.4% inflation directly dumps the market. If the Bank of England raises interest rates, Bitcoin will have to run.

3.4% inflation, to be honest, sounds a bit uncomfortable. What else can the central bank do? If they keep raising interest rates, us crypto enthusiasts will be in trouble.

The pound is going to suffer again; the BoE needs to stand firm this time.

The pound is struggling again with inflation. Now it's time to see how the BoE will respond... With tightening policies in place, the crypto world should be prepared for shocks.
