The crypto market is recording a recovery at a time when a report about the rising American rental price and inflation rolled out. This recovery is possibly in anticipation of a verdict on tariffs. The crypto market is projected to rise further in the times to come.
According to LendingTree and as reported by Reuters, the rental prices for Americans have increased since 2021, with the highest rise in New York City. The average increase for a one-bedroom rent is $457. An increase in New York City is $854 to the projected number of $2,655. It is followed by San Diego (CA) with a rise of $817.
The remaining three top cities are Miami (FL), Riverside (CA), and Tampa (FL), noted a rise of $764, $671, and $656, respectively. The average monthly rental increase is for all the 50 largest US metros that participated in the survey during the 2021 and 2026 fiscal year.
Notably, these estimates are Fair Market Rents from the US Department of Housing & Urban Development. The purpose is to reflect typical prices and exclude luxury homes. The data comes at a time when the US inflation increased to 2.71% in December 2025 from 2.68% in November 2025.

Interestingly, and reportedly, traders are starting to brace for the US’s Supreme Court verdict that effectively invalidates tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.
BTC, for one, is expected to trade at $102,889 in the next 1 month. This would be a jump of 6.74% amid the medium volatility of 2.55%. BTC price prediction estimates that the token could surpass the ATH of $126,198.07, recorded on October 07, 2025, by the end of this year.
