Solana and Chainlink soared over 12% after July’s cooler-than-expected CPI data reinforced expectations of a September Fed rate cut. Institutional inflows, not retail speculation, are driving the current crypto rally, according to analysts. However, rising leverage has heightened systemic risks for altcoins.

  • Institutional flows, not retail speculation, are the primary driver of the current crypto rally, marking a shift from previous cycles.
  • July's CPI print of 2.7% (below forecasts) pushed Fed rate cut odds to 82.5%, sparking bullish momentum across altcoins.
  • Open interest in major tokens surged to $44B, but analysts warn high leverage raises risks of liquidation cascades and volatility.
