U.S. Added Stronger Than Expected 177K Jobs in April

Another month, another jobs report that ’shocks’ Wall Street—because apparently economists still can’t model post-pandemic labor trends. The 177K payroll surge proves Main Street’s still spending, which means the Fed gets to keep playing inflation whack-a-mole with rate hikes.

Crypto implications? Strong jobs = delayed rate cuts = more pain for leveraged degens. But hey—at least your stablecoin yield might finally beat inflation again... in 2026.
