Ether Tumbles to Eight-Month Low While Crypto Rout Deepens

Inflation

Original Report

Ether, the second-largest digital token, slid as as much as 10% on Thursday to $1,911, hitting its lowest intraday price since May as a months-long rout in cryptocurrencies prices deepens.

Glass House Analysis

Inflation is the silent tax that erodes purchasing power, hitting hardest those who can least afford it. When grocery bills rise faster than wages, families face impossible choices between food, medicine, and rent. Unlike market volatility that mainly affects investors, inflation touches everyone who buys groceries, fills a gas tank, or pays rent.

The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
