Bitcoin has made a triumphant leap back across the $100,000 milestone, a feat not achieved since February. The catalyst? The latest development in the ongoing tariff dance between the US and the rest of the world. While the previous aggressive tariff spells sent Bitcoin tumbling down to $74,000, Trump's $6 billion UK deal has sent a wave of optimism rippling across the crypto seas. As Bitcoin flirts with its all-time high, even seasoned analysts like Antoni Trenchev are hailing it as the ‘bounceback king’. Concessions on the part of both countries with a few mutually beneficial agreements provide hope for a framework that benefits both sides, but only time will tell whether the rising tide lifts all boats in this deal or if the payoff becomes one-sided.
Meanwhile, US stablecoin regulation stalls in the wake of criticism around Trump’s crypto ventures and the EU announces plans to track crypto transfers. Despite the setbacks, Arizona and Oregon join New Hampshire to become the 2nd and 3rd US states to sign crypto reserve bills into law. How will surging crypto momentum handle cautious regulatory approaches in the coming weeks?
Let's dive in!
