Trump’s new trade tariffs could weaken the US dollar over time, which could potentially push Bitcoin prices higher.

  • Jeff Park of BitWise suggests that Trump’s tariffs could drive Bitcoin prices "violently higher" by weakening the US dollar.

  • Tariffs may raise import costs, fueling inflation in the US and globally, especially in trade-dependent countries.

  • As fiat currencies lose value, people may start to turn to digital assets like Bitcoin as a store of wealth and hedge against depreciation.

💰️ Bitcoin ETFs Poised to Surpass $50 Billion in 2025 Inflows

Bitcoin ETFs are on track to surpass $50 billion in inflows by the end of 2025, fueled by strong institutional adoption and record-breaking demand.

  • US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted almost $5 billion in inflows in January, which signals that there is strong investor demand that could drive a potentially record-breaking year.

  • As a result of January’s performance, Bitwise’s Matt Hougan predicts that Bitcoin ETF inflows could surpass $50 billion by the end of 2025.

  • Initial 2024 projections estimated $15 billion in total inflows, but actual figures surpassed $33.6 billion, which also fueled analysts’ optimism for continued growth.

It is believed that the meme coin was launched by the law firm to help it build a class-action lawsuit against Pump.fun.

  • Pump.fun is facing a proposed class-action suit alleging that all tokens it created are unregistered securities.

  • Crypto observers noticed that a wallet address in the lawsuit’s Exhibit C matches the creator of the DOGSHIT2 token, sparking speculation that the law firms behind the case may have created the coin themselves.

  • Burwick Law also previously filed claims for investors who lost money on influencer Haliey Welch’s Hawk Tuah meme coin.

XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano’s ADA fell by more than 25% to reverse all of their December gains.
