📉 Bitcoin Drops to $109K After Trump’s New Trade Threats

BTC rapidly dipped from $111,000 to $109,000 — and yep, Trump’s at it again 🤷

🇺🇸 US president vowed to introduce 50% tariffs on EU goods starting this summer. 🙀

📱 On top of that, he threatened a 25% tariff on Apple products if iPhones aren’t made in the U.S.

Markets reacted instantly.📉

Cetus has successfully frozen $162M of the $223M stolen during the recent exploit. 💰

🤝 The team is actively working with the Sui Foundation and ecosystem partners to recover the remaining funds.

🔍 Key actions:

▪️The exploit’s root cause was identified and patched.
▪️Developers across the ecosystem were alerted to prevent similar attacks.
▪️Cybersecurity experts were brought in to trace funds and negotiate with the hacker.
▪️ Law enforcement is involved.
▪️ The attacker’s Ethereum wallet was identified. Cetus offered a whitehat deal — return the funds, and legal action will be dropped.

📈 Altseason is (almost) here?

A popular theory circulating on Crypto Twitter suggests the altcoin season is imminent. 🚀

🕒 Historically, altseasons tend to kick off ~380 days after a Bitcoin halving — and guess what? We're in that window now. 🤔

Will history repeat itself? Stay tuned 👀

⚖️ Supreme Court Saves Powell from Trump

Bloomberg reports: 🇺🇸 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Trump can fire heads of independent agencies without cause — but not the Fed Chair.

💼 Jerome Powell is safe for now, as the Fed remains "a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity,” and off-limits for presidential firing.

This decision protects the Federal Reserve’s independence, especially amid Trump’s pressure to cut interest rates. 🧐

🇺🇸💬 “If you're selling BTC because Europe got hit with tariffs, you don't understand Bitcoin and you're NGMI.”

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and former crypto advisor to Donald Trump, calls out panic sellers.

💬 His message: Bitcoin was built to thrive amid geopolitical and economic turbulence, not collapse because of it.

🚀 True Bitcoiners see beyond short-term news — they HODL through chaos.

♾️ Market Psychology in One Simple Rule

Want to know where we are in the market cycle? Just listen to your friends:

🧸 In a bear market, you're a fool for staying in crypto.
🐂 In a bull market, you're a genius or just lucky.

The truth? The cycle hasn't changed — only people's emotions have. Stay focused.

Mike Belshe, CEO of BitGo, revealed that scammers tried to trick him via traditional mail. 📩

🥷 They posed as Ledger and sent a fake hardware wallet, claiming it was for a "security check" on his crypto wallet.

📦 Inside was a malicious device designed to steal private keys and gain access to funds.

⚠️ Reminder: Never trust unsolicited hardware wallets — especially those claiming to be replacements or upgrades. Always verify directly with the company.

🇺🇸 Donald Trump announced a delay in the 50% tariffs on all EU imports until July

The move is seen as a temporary de-escalation in trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe.

🚀Following the news, Bitcoin surged back to $110,000. However, technical indicators show strong resistance on the hourly chart, suggesting the rally may face obstacles. 👀

🕵️‍♂️ Analysts believe that by 2045, companies holding Bitcoin reserves will control 50% of the total BTC supply.

Strategy (former MicroStrategy) is expected to maintain its lead, holding half of all corporate Bitcoin — potentially making Michael Saylor's firm the most valuable in history.💰

Experts also note that half of the world’s capital is seeking a better store of value. This has driven a significant shift over the past two years from fiat currencies to hard assets like gold and Bitcoin. 🧐

🇺🇸 Major U.S. financial groups, including the American Bankers Association and SIFMA, are urging the SEC to scrap the rule requiring public companies to disclose cyber incidents within 4 days — (petition).

They argue the rule harms investigations, breaches confidentiality, confuses investors, and even helps hackers pressure companies. 🧐

Case in point: Coinbase refused to pay a $20M ransom after a client data breach — disclosure rules, they say, made the situation worse. 🤷

🚨 A crypto investor lost $2.6M in stablecoins after falling for two phishing scams — just three hours apart!

🥷The attacker used a sneaky trick called a zero-value transfer: a fake transaction of $0 that appears in your wallet history, making the scammer’s address look familiar.

Later, the victim mistakenly sent real funds to this "trusted" address — twice. 🙀

This advanced address poisoning tactic is on the rise. Over 270M attempts were tracked across Ethereum and BNB Chain, with over $83M in stolen funds. 💵

👉 Always double-check full wallet addresses — partial matches can be deadly.

📊 Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy) just bought 4,020 BTC for $421.1M between May 19–25, averaging $106,237 per coin.

As of May 25, the company holds 580,250 BTC — that’s ~2.7% of all Bitcoin in existence. Total spending since 2020: $40.61B at an average price of $69,979 per BTC.

🔥 To fuel future buys, Strategy also launched a new preferred stock offering of up to $2.1B.

The Bitcoin accumulation continues. 💪

🔎 Analysts at Sentora (formerly IntoTheBlock) highlight a key difference in this Bitcoin cycle compared to previous ones.

Traditionally, long-term holders accumulate during bear markets and distribute during bull runs, forming smooth cup-shaped patterns. 📊☕️

This time, however, the distribution started earlier, progressed slower, with interruptions — lacking the usual rhythm.

This irregular behavior signals growing uncertainty, even among seasoned Bitcoin veterans, about where exactly we are in the market cycle. 🧐

🇯🇵📉 Japan’s bond market crisis may be behind Bitcoin’s new ATH of $112K, says Bitwise.

💰 Yields on 30-year Japanese bonds spiked to 3.185% — a record high — raising fears over Japan’s soaring debt (250% of GDP) and potential default.

As trust in traditional assets weakens, institutional investors are turning to Bitcoin as a hedge against sovereign risk. 🛡

BTC could hit $200K if ETF inflows and corporate accumulation continue. 📈

🐂 Bullish signal from CryptoQuant: Long-term Bitcoin holders are showing strong confidence.

Spending by long-term holders has dropped to levels not seen since Sept 2024, while their wallets have accumulated 300,000 BTC in just the past 20 days. 💰💪

This trend signals reduced selling pressure and growing conviction among seasoned investors — a classic precursor to potential upward price momentum. 🚀

🔄 Investors are redistributing profits from Bitcoin’s $112K ATH into altcoins.

🔍 On-chain data shows a surge in new wallet creation for several tokens — a classic sign of growing retail and whale interest:

👉 $WETH (Wrapped Ethereum)
👉 $GT (Gatechain)
👉 $MKR (Maker)

This shift suggests rising momentum in the altcoin market as capital flows from BTC into promising projects. 📈

🇯🇵 Japanese firm Remixpoint has purchased 200 BTC for 1 billion yen (~$6.4M), continuing its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.

The company previously approved a budget of 11 billion yen for BTC investments — and has already deployed 10.5 billion yen of it. 📊

⚠️ Google researchers warn: Quantum computers could break Bitcoin much sooner than expected. 🫨

New findings show cracking RSA encryption needs 20x fewer qubits than previously thought — under 1 million, instead of 20 million. This could reduce the time to hack encryption to just a few days. ⏱️🤔

Current machines like IBM’s Condor (1,121 qubits) aren’t there yet — but the pace of progress is raising alarms. The quantum threat to crypto security is no longer distant sci-fi. 🧬🧠

OTC Bitcoin supply drying up fast — could hit zero by July 2026 if current trends continue. 🙀

Since Sept 2021, available BTC on OTC desks has dropped from 486K to just 115K — a 4.2x decrease. 📉

At the current outflow rate of ~276 BTC/day, the remaining supply could be fully drained within ~14 months. 🧮⏳

This signals growing institutional demand and shrinking liquid supply — a potential catalyst for future price surges. 🔥
