Sudden Liquidity Expansion Despite Inflation Burst: TBL Weekly #129

Good morning Readers!

It is crazy to think that just a few months back, investors had forgotten all about the ‘price stability’ part of the Fed’s dual mandate, so much so that even the weekly jobless claims prints every Thursday morning were must-see releases—one that rarely carries market-moving power. Nevertheless, with trade wars at play alongside hotter-than-expected core CPI, inflation has taken back its spotlight. As such, today’s post takes a closer look at how markets are reacting to inflation expectations by:

  • Looking at last week’s sudden expansion in TBL Liquidity, and how equities and bitcoin reacted to this growth in liquidity.

  • And analyzing inflation-fighting assets like gold and how they reflect this new, up-and-coming inflation narrative in investors’ portfolios.

So, without further ado, grab a coffee, and let’s dive into TBL Weekly #129.


The rules of the game have changed. The first 30 days of the Trump administration have ushered in a massive shift in bitcoin policy—regulatory clarity is emerging, institutions are stepping in, and America could be on the cusp of a national strategic bitcoin reserve.

Join Unchained for an exclusive online event with Conner Brown, Counsel to U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, Preston Pysh, and Matt Pines from the Bitcoin Policy Institute on February 25th at noon ET.

The event will cover what’s changed, how it impacts your generational wealth, and what might be coming next. Don’t get left behind!
