Inflation Is Broken: The Truth Behind Crypto’s Next Move | Stefan Rust

Welcome to The Big Picture, SolanaFloor’s weekly livestream focused on the macro, regulatory, and institutional forces shaping crypto markets. In Episode 3, Jack and Thomas are joined by Stefan Rust, Founder & CEO of Truflation, to examine the widening gap between official CPI data and real-time inflation readings and why that gap could matter more than most retail investors realize. We explore rate cuts, liquidity injections, China’s deflation trap, and whether crypto is truly a hedge against bad monetary policy or just another liquidity trade. They cover: 📍 Why real-time inflation data is diverging from official CPI readings 📍 What sub-1% inflation could mean for Fed rate cuts and crypto liquidity 📍 Whether governments are mismeasuring inflation — or simply lagging reality 📍 China’s deflation crisis and the global macro risks markets may be ignoring 📍 How crypto reacts to monetary expansion — hedge or just liquidity trade? --- This show is about signal over noise — no price predictions, no protocol promotion, and a clear distinction between facts and interpretation. 📍 Live every Thursday at 11am ET on YouTube and X 🔔 Subscribe for reminders and don’t miss future episodes of The Big Picture. --- Follow Jack Dunham on X: https://x.com/_JackDunham Follow Thomas Bahamas on X: https://x.com/Thomasbahamas Follow Matt Hougan on X: https://x.com/Matt_Hougan ---
