The week that started on Monday, March 24, has been bloody in the equity markets and, by Friday, March 28, ensured that cryptocurrencies have also joined the plunge with a $100 billion 24-hour valuation drop.

Donald Trump, the sexual predator and current sitting president of the United States, has fully embraced bitcoin. World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project he profits from, has purchased millions of dollars worth of tokenized bitcoin, and the federal government at his direction has placed bitcoin into a special stockpile and is searching for ways to purchase additional bitcoin. This embrace of bitcoin comes after the cryptocurrency industry embraced him, with a wide variety of industry executives, including Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Brian Armstrong, Marc Andreessen, Michael Saylor, and many more, voicing their support for the authoritarian.  However, despite the industry’s support of Trump and Trump’s support of the industry, bitcoin has seemed to underperform.

1. Trump Ordered the Imposition of Tariffs, Causing the Cryptocurrency Market to Plunge Amid Risk Aversion link On Monday, Trump signed an order to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% tariff on imports from China. The order was set to take effect on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency market showed a risk-averse trend and dropped significantly, with BTC recently falling 8% to $92,798.34. Jeff Park, the head of alpha strategy at Bitwise, said that due to the eventual weakening of the US dollar and US interest rates, the ongoing tariff war would be “amazing” for Bitcoin in the long run. On Monday, Ben Zhou, the CEO of Bybit, tweeted, “The real total liquidation amount in the cryptocurrency market today is far more than $2 billion. According to my estimate, it should be at least between $8 billion and $10 billion. The liquidation amount of Bybit in 24 hours alone reached $2.1 billion. The 24-hour liquidation amount of Bybit recorded on Coinglass is about $333 million,...

With growing concerns of a burgeoning trade war taking place, Wall Street has struggled amid the US government’s economic policy shift. Amid that development, Tesla (TSLA) has seen its stock continue to fall, but are US President Donald Trump’s tariffs to blame? Trump issued 10% tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China on Saturday. Moreover, their implementation led the nations to issue their own retaliatory measures. Although Mexico’s President, Claudia Scheinbaum, announced those tariffs would be delayed, there is still concern regarding how the economic policy could impact the United States. The stock market stands as a sector that could face increased losses.

1. Bitcoin Surges Past $100,000, Reaching a Historic Milestone link On Thursday, OKX market data showed that Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $100,000, reaching an all-time high of $104,056. Calculating from the 0.003-cent average price of Bitcoin during Laszlo Hanyecz’s infamous 2010 purchase of two pizzas with 10,000 BTC, Bitcoin has appreciated by an astounding 3.33 billion times over the span of more than 5,000 days. This would now value the pizzas at $1 billion. Former U.S. President Donald Trump congratulated “Bitcoin holders” for reaching the $100,000 milestone in a post on the Truth platform, adding, “Together, we will make America great again.” The Financial Times column Alphaville published a reflective piece on Bitcoin’s historic rise. Historically critical of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, the column noted its inefficiencies as a medium of exchange and limitations as a store of value, attributing its price largely to market speculation. However, the authors expressed regret for not...

The de-dollarization narrative has gained global recognition, with nations actively calling out to promote local currency narratives. This new perspective is leading the US dollar to note a significant valuation dip, with countries looking forward to finding able USD alternatives. The constant weaponization of the US dollar alongside its nation’s spiking debt metrics has compelled nations to make the call and contemplate hard on whether they want to support the dollar or not. With Trump taking over the US, his policies of imposing taxes on nations moving away from the dollar are also stressing the greenback. Will his leadership accelerate the de-dollarization drive or curb it entirely? Let’s find out. Also Read: Pepe December Forecast: How High Can The Token Surge Next Month?

The election of Donald Trump to the office of President will go down in history as one of the most pivotal events of the year. Although pollsters were projecting a tight race, in the end, the GOP candidate secured victory over incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris in each swing state. Some of Trump’s proposed economic policies — in particular, his preference for tariffs, have caused widespread worry among market participants. They’re far from a done deal — Trump’s first term did include a bevy of promises that were ultimately not kept. However, the markets have certainly been fairly bullish regarding one thing — and that’s the President-elect’s stance on cryptocurrency.  Picks for you AI sets Bitcoin price for Cyber Monday 33 mins ago ...

President-elect Donald Trump is selling DOGE shirts after appointing billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as heads of the newly-coined Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE for short — a reference to Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency, Dogecoin. The rudimentary shirts are on sale for $28 on Trump’s official campaign site. Amidst an orange-washed background of Mars, Musk and Trump’s face are plastered below ‘D O G E’. Peeking over their shoulder is a little Shiba Inu, the official Dogecoin mascot. Money can buy cabinet appointments, not taste. Following the thinly-veiled announcement of the Department of Government Efficiency, $DOGE’s volume rose to $47 billion. However, its price and market cap remained relatively stable. It was widely expected that Musk would be appointed to an advisory or cabinet role, which may explain why $DOGE price hasn’t continued to surge. This is Musk’s latest attempt to shamele...
