Bitcoin Booms, Trump Tariffs, and SEC Shakeup: Crypto's Wild Week
Digital Assets Decoded: Your Daily Crypto Guide podcast.
Hey folks, Crypto Willy here with your daily dose of Digital Assets Decoded! Buckle up, because this past week has been a wild ride in the crypto markets. Let’s break it down.
First up, Bitcoin is back in the spotlight, folks. After a shaky start to April, BTC surged 6% this week, hitting around $85K thanks to a combo of soft U.S. inflation data and a temporary tariff pause by President Trump. Ethereum wasn’t far behind, adding 3%, while altcoins like Solana and XRP went nuts with gains up to 20%. That’s what I call a crypto rebound! But don’t get too comfy—Fed Governor Christopher Waller hinted that if those tariffs come back, we might see "bad news" rate cuts, which could stir the pot again.
Speaking of tariffs, Trump’s latest move paused rates for non-retaliating countries, dropping them to 10% for 90 days. But China? Oh boy, they’re facing 125% tariffs. The S&P 500 loved the news, surging nearly 7%, but crypto might be the real winner here. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes thinks a Chinese yuan devaluation could send Asian capital flooding into Bitcoin and other digital assets. Keep an eye on this geopolitical chess game—it’s far from over.
Meanwhile, Pakistan is making waves by tapping Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) as a strategic advisor to its Crypto Council. With 240 million people—mostly under 30—Pakistan’s betting big on crypto to empower its youth. CZ’s mission? Craft regulations, boost blockchain infrastructure, and turn Pakistan into the next crypto hub. Move over, Singapore and Switzerland!
Over in the U.S., the SEC is getting a major shakeup. The Senate confirmed pro-crypto Paul Atkins as the new chairman, replacing Gary Gensler. Atkins, who has stakes in firms like Anchorage Digital, is already dropping lawsuits and softening stances on meme coins and stablecoins. Could this be the regulatory clarity we’ve been waiting for? Fingers crossed.
Now, let’s talk losers. Toncoin (TON), Immutable (IMX), and ORDI took a beating early this month, dropping over 20% in just seven days. Profit-taking and macro uncertainty hit hard, but hey—crypto’s never boring, right?
Looking ahead, all eyes are on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech this Wednesday. With inflation cooling but tariffs looming, his words could swing markets. And don’t forget Trump’s tariff war with China—smartphones got a breather, but tech imports are still in the crosshairs.
That’s a wrap, crypto crew! Stay sharp, stay informed, and remember—volatility is just part of the game. Until next time, this is Crypto Willy signing off. Keep decoding those digital assets!
