Listen guys, the crypto market just got a whole lot more complicated in Europe. Binance, the big cheese of cryptocurrency exchanges, has decided to pull the plug on Tether’s USDT for spot trading in the European Economic Area.
Hackers run wild with $1.63 billion loot so far in 2025
The first quarter of 2025 was quite fruitful for the bad actors in the industry. Hackers ran amok, swiping $1.63 billion in cryptocurrencies.
Trump’s Tariff Threats Fuel Bitcoin Momentum Amid Inflation and Fiat Uncertainty
Trump’s proposed tariffs potentially supercharge Bitcoin’s appeal by shaking confidence in fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, especially if inflationary pressures mount, as Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid and Pepperstone’s Chris Weston warned.
With a 20% universal tariff risking stagflation—higher costs without growth—coupled with retaliatory moves from global players as flagged by OCBC’s Vasu Menon, traders on our platform might increasingly turn to Bitcoin as a safe haven, leveraging its decentralized nature to sidestep trade war fallout.
From an economic standpoint, tariffs could jack up manufacturing prices and erode dollar dominance, as Wells Fargo and Bank of America’s Ethan Harris suggest, driving capital into crypto markets where Bitget’s robust trading tools can capitalize on volatility.
Investors are already going risk-off, per Natixis’ Garrett Melson. With uncertainty lingering past Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day” per Commonwealth Bank’s Carol Kong, we’d expect a spike in Bitcoin demand—perfect for our users to ride the wave using spot, futures, or our staking options in a protectionist-driven multi-chain future.

TRX in Focus: Tether’s $1B Transfer and Stablecoin Bill Shape Tron’s Liquidity and Regulatory Outlook
Tether’s $1 billion USDT transfer to the Tron network in January 2025 aimed to boost liquidity, potentially increasing TRX demand for transaction fees.
While exact price data post-transfer is unclear, TRX hovered around $0.22-$0.24 in early 2025, showing no dramatic spike, suggesting the market may have anticipated the move.
The transfer likely had a neutral to positive effect, though its immediate price impact appears limited.
Impact of the Stablecoin Bill Review
The U.S. Congressional review of the GENIUS Act, passed by the Senate Banking Committee in March 2025, seeks to regulate stablecoins with federal and state oversight.
This could benefit TRX by providing regulatory clarity for USDT on Tron, potentially boosting short-term momentum if sentiment remains positive.
However, strict rules might raise operational costs for Tether, indirectly pressuring TRX’s price and Tron’s appeal.
TRX’s Role in the Stablecoin Ecosystem
TRX underpins Tron, a major blockchain for USDT, handling a significant share of stablecoin transactions due to low fees and high speed.
The Tether transfer reinforces Tron’s position, while favorable regulations could solidify its ecosystem role, increasing TRX’s utility.
Conversely, restrictive policies might challenge Tron’s attractiveness, affecting TRX’s long-term relevance in the stablecoin space.
