What the IMF’s World Economic Outlook Means for Bitcoin Price

If the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) outlook and risk scenarios play out, then bitcoin’s price could face more headwinds than tailwinds from familiar forces: interest rates, the bond market, and AI stocks. In its World Economic Outlook (WEO) the IMF doesn’t mention bitcoin or other crypto assets. However, its analysis could affect this market, too. Compared with its April forecast, the WEO kept its global growth forecast unchanged at 3.1% for this year and raised next year’s forecast by 0.2%, to 3.4%.
