🐋 Patience Pays: Whales Win Again
Just 8 hours before the market crash, two Ethereum whale wallets woke up after 6 years, moving 135,548 ETH ($399M) to Bitfinex, securing a massive 1,817% profit ($378.3M).
But it’s not just hodlers who won today! A whale shorted ETH in late January, endured a $1.2M drawdown, and now sits on an unrealized profit of $48M. 💰
Some traders really woke up to a great morning!

BTC Below $100K? Maybe Never Again!
CryptoQuant’s CEO believes that in just a couple of months, we may never see BTC below $100K again—calling the current dip nothing but "good discounts". 🫣
Jeff Park from Bitwise agrees, arguing that Trump’s tariffs will weaken the dollar & US bond yields, ultimately fueling Bitcoin’s growth. 🤔
Are we looking at the last big buying opportunity before BTC takes off? 🚀

🩸🔪 Crypto Market Bloodbath: $2.24B Liquidated Amid New Trade War 📉 Monday kicked off with a market crash as Trump’s new tariffs (25% on Canada & Mexico goods, an extra 10% on China's existing 25%) sent shockwaves. With fears of a brutal day for US stocks…
Liquidations May Be 5x Higher Than Reported! 🙀
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou claims that real crypto liquidations could be $8–10B daily, while data aggregators like Coinglass report only $2B due to API restrictions. 🤔
👀 For example, Bybit alone saw $2.1B in liquidations in the last 24 hours, but Coinglass only showed $333M. Zhou says other exchanges also underreport liquidations, likely to avoid scaring traders away.
To fix this, Bybit will now share real-time liquidation data to increase transparency. 📊
So, next time you see a liquidation chart—just multiply it by five. 👨💻

📢 Trump’s Tariff Standoff: A Temporary Truce with Canada & Mexico 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽
Donald Trump has delayed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for 30 days after securing tougher border security and anti-drug measures.
Canada will crack down on cartels, appoint a fentanyl czar, and boost border security with a C$1.3B plan. Meanwhile, Mexico agreed to deploy 10,000 National Guard officers to curb fentanyl and migration. 👀
While this move prevents an immediate trade war, uncertainty remains. Trump hinted at tough negotiations ahead, and China still faces fresh tariffs. Markets reacted swiftly, with the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso surging. 📈
🚀 It seems that yesterday's cryptocurrency market recovery also took place against the backdrop of the pause in the introduction of trade tariffs against the US's immediate neighbors.
For now, North America steps back from the brink, but how long will the peace last? 🤔💰

Trump Orders Creation of U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund – Bitcoin Involved? 🚀
🇺🇸 US president Trump has signed an executive order directing the Treasury and Commerce Departments to establish a sovereign wealth fund. While Bitcoin wasn’t explicitly mentioned, speculation is growing that this fund could become a vehicle for government BTC holdings. 🤔
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent remains cautious on crypto, but Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick is a well-known Bitcoin advocate. Given his ties to Tether’s bond custodian, crypto’s role in the fund could be significant. 💰
With a 12-month timeline for creation, will the U.S. embrace BTC at the state level? 👀🔥

Reality Check for Bitcoin Bulls: Trump’s BTC Reserve Unlikely? 🇺🇸📉
📊 The recent market dump has cooled crypto idealists, as the odds of Trump establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve within his first 100 days have dropped to 18% on Polymarket. Just after his inauguration, the probability was nearly 50%. 🤷
Optimism is fading, but could Trump still make a bold move on BTC?⚡️👀

📊 Bitcoin’s Realized Cap Surges by $450B Since 2022! 🚀
Since hitting a cycle low of $400B in November 2022, Bitcoin’s realized capitalization has grown by $450B, now reaching $850B! 💰
Unlike market cap, realized cap values BTC based on the last moved price rather than its current market value—offering a clearer picture of capital inflows into BTC. 🧐
More conviction, more money locked in—bullish signal? 📈🔥

🇸🇻 El Salvador Ramps Up Bitcoin Purchases After IMF Deal 💰🔥
El Salvador has accelerated BTC acquisitions, buying 12 BTC in the last 24 hours, bringing its national reserve to 6,068 BTC (~$600M). 💰

▪️ Taxes must be paid in USD
▪️ Government scaling back involvement in Chivo Wallet
Despite these restrictions, the BTC buying spree continues—from just 1 BTC per day before January to 60 BTC in the past month. 🚀
Latest purchases (Feb 4):
▪️ 11 BTC @ $101,816
▪️ 1 BTC @ $99,114
