**IMF Predicts Drop in Global Inflation, Positive Outlook for Cryptocurrencies**

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts a significant drop in global inflation to 3.5% by the end of 2025, thanks to a resilient global economy. This follows a peak of 9.4% in Q3 2022. IMF Chief Economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas highlighted that inflation is nearing central bank targets in many countries, with global growth expected to remain steady at 3.2% in 2024 and 2025.

Lower inflation could benefit risk assets like cryptocurrencies by reducing living costs and interest rates. However, geopolitical tensions and upcoming US elections pose uncertainties.

Despite the positive inflation outlook, the IMF calls for a "policy triple pivot" to address interest rates, government spending, and productivity reforms. The global growth rate remains at its weakest in decades, with the US and emerging Asian economies showing the strongest growth potential.

Contrarily, billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones predicts worsening inflation due to rising US debt, advocating for investments in Bitcoin, gold, and other commodities. The Congressional Budget Office projects a $1.9 trillion deficit for the 2024 fiscal year, growing to $2.8 trillion by 2034. Jones warns that without serious spending reforms, the US could face severe financial challenges.
