The U.S. just hit a historic milestone—net migration turned negative in 2025, marking the first time this has happened in over 50 years. This kind of demographic shift doesn't just affect labor markets; it ripples through everything: inflation pressure, wage dynamics, consumer spending patterns. For those tracking macro trends and their impact on risk assets, this is worth paying attention to. Population flows shape economic cycles, and economic cycles shape crypto volatility.

Negative migration is really incredible; I haven't seen it in over 50 years... Now, the labor force shrinks, inflation pressures, wages, and consumption all have to change. The crypto circle will have to keep a close eye on macroeconomics again; if the economic cycle isn't managed well, the fluctuations will be terrifyingly large.

The era of negative migration has arrived, and the labor market will be reshuffled... The macro logic of the crypto world has become even more complex.

Negative net migration? The labor market is about to collapse, and inflationary pressures will actually ease... Wait, consumer spending is going to decline, so how can the crypto market still rise in this wave?

Negative population growth? This means a guaranteed labor shortage, and upward pressure on wages... But on the other hand, could this actually be a positive for the crypto world? Liquidity might be squeezed into risk assets.
