📢 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? 👀🔥

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. 🧐

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

🕵️ Kraken Knows Satoshi’s Identity? 🤯
Coinbase exec claims 24 transactions were sent from wallets linked to Satoshi, with most BTC landing on CaVirtEx, a Canadian exchange acquired by Kraken in 2016. If KYC was involved, Kraken could have data on Bitcoin’s mysterious creator. 🤔
But not everyone’s convinced—critics argue random users could have sent those transactions, not Satoshi himself.
Meanwhile, Satoshi’s wallets still hold 1.09M BTC (~$107B), with the last suspected activity in 2014. 💰
So, does Kraken hold the biggest secret in crypto, or is this just another wild theory? 👀🔍
