Bitcoin Succumbs to US Tariffs
U.S. tariffs under President Trump have triggered market turbulence, causing a 7.7% drop in Bitcoin and a broader crypto selloff. While the tariffs strengthened the U.S. dollar, uncertainty in global markets grew due to Trump's inconsistent messaging.
Bitcoin fell below $80,000 for the first time since November 2024, disappointing investors expecting favorable regulations. Some speculate Trump may be using tariff threats to curb inflation rather than implementing them fully. Markets remain cautious, awaiting further developments.
Will The Sell Off Continue?
Bitcoin briefly dipped below $80,000 before rebounding, but uncertainty remains over whether this is a real recovery. The upcoming 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico could trigger another decline, though some believe it's already priced in. Despite apparent efforts to suppress crypto prices, institutions continue accumulating assets. The Fear and Greed Index signals extreme fear, suggesting a buying opportunity before a rebound.
Investors await key legislation that could bring institutional liquidity, benefiting Ethereum as banks adopt stablecoin-backed tokens and increase staking activity.

The Network Effects of the US Dollar
The post highlights the resilience of the US dollar, emphasizing its dominance through digital finance and network effects. While some predicted its decline, stablecoins are actually expanding its reach. Currency now functions primarily as digital data, with the US dollar having the most extensive global network.
Stablecoins like USDT and USDC, already handling trillions in transactions, will grow further as commercial banks enter the space. This will create a system where USD-denominated stablecoins operate outside traditional banking, strengthening the dollar’s network effects even more.

the conclusions are really interesting. I also believe that the dollar-linked stablecoins will make the dollar stronger. However, I note that the European Union is not convinced that USDT fully complies with the new European regulation called MICA. We'll see how this story ends, but I also believe that in the future, dollar-linked StableCoins will have a high flow of transactions every day. !PIMP
