Bitcoin Mania Peaks as Trump’s Tariff Revival Rattles Markets: Weekly Crypto Pulse

FOMO meets FUD—Bitcoin hype soars to stratospheric levels just as political turbulence sends shockwaves through crypto markets.

The ATH Euphoria (And the Hangover)

Speculators pile in, chasing all-time highs—because nothing says ’sound investment’ like buying the top. Meanwhile, traders brace for impact as geopolitical risks resurface.

The Tariff Twist

Trump’s revived trade wars threaten to kneecap global liquidity—the very lifeblood of crypto’s speculative frenzy. Watch institutional players hedge harder than a suburban dad trimming hedges.

The Bottom Line

Volatility is back on the menu. Whether this pumps your bags or drains them depends entirely on which side of leverage you’re standing—and how fast you can hit ’sell.’

This Week’s Crypto Headlines You Can’t Miss

. Some of the biggest US-based banks, such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America, have reportedly teamed up to begin talks on a joint stablecoin, which will allow them to use it to speed up routine transactions like cross-border payments.

. Although BTC has already broken its all-time high record and sits well in the green on a weekly and monthly scale, several on-chain metrics show that its rally is a lot healthier than the previous surge in January, and it could continue for a while.

The biggest BTC ETF continues to eat up its competition as its AUM has grown to more than all other funds combined. This raised questions within the community about whether IBIT could actually pose some centralization issues to an underlying asset that is supposed to be highly decentralized.

. ETH has lost some steam after its impressive rally mid-month, but still remains close to a key resistance of around $2,700. The cool-off is probably driven by profit-taking, as this report suggests. Another one, though, indicated that the ETH stored on exchanges has hit a multi-year low, which is typically a bullish sign.

. While the US SEC continues to delay making a decision on different spot Ripple ETF applications, XRP has notched another win on the futures front. This week, CME’s XRP Futures products went live for trading, and you can check how they performed compared to BTC and ETH here.

. The POTUS keeps making the news in the cryptocurrency space, and this week was his hyped special dinner with the top holders of his meme coin – OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP). According to reports, it was filled with controversy, including some protests outside the venue.
