Bitcoin zoomed close to $100,000 early Thursday as President Donald Trump said a tariff deal with a “big, highly respected country” is to be announced soon.

Trump will hold a “major” trade deal news conference at 10 a.m. ET, where the announcement is supposed to be the “first of many.”

The identity of the country involved remains unclear. Still, some reports say it is believed to be the U.K. Easing tariffs could soften inflationary pressures and improve the backdrop for investing in crypto, tech, and other high-beta assets.



Bitcoin has gained more than 5% in the past 24 hours, extending its weeklong rally as macroeconomic conditions improve.

A combination of falling bond yields, a weakening dollar, and renewed institutional flows into spot bitcoin ETFs has fueled upward momentum.

The announcement also comes amid rising political pressure on U.S. leaders to counter China’s growing influence and revive domestic manufacturing. While full details remain under wraps, any rollback of tariffs could quickly buoy prices of risk assets.

BTC Price News: Bitcoin Nears $100K as Trump Teases ‘Big’ Trade Deal

Macro investor and fund manager Dan Tapiero believes Bitcoin (BTC) could turn bullish amid a potential change in US monetary policy.

In a new thread on the social media platform X, Tapiero says the uncertainty caused by tariffs is having a “growth-dampening impact” on both the US and China.

According to the macro investor, the Federal Reserve could consequently be forced to cut rates, just like China’s central bank already has, catapulting Bitcoin to a rally of over 2x from the current level.

“If US slows hard, could Fed get to 1.4% -250bps (basis points) from here?

Imagine how high Bitcoin would [go] in that scenario.

$200,000+”

Bitcoin is trading at $97,095 at time of writing.

Earlier this week, the central bank of the world’s second-largest economy, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), announced it would reduce its policy rate it charges commercial banks for short-term loans by 10 basis points from 1.5% to 1.4%.

The PBOC also announced it will lower the reserve requirement ratio, or the amount of cash that commercial banks must hold in reserves, by 50 basis points, per CNBC. Lowering the reserve requirement ratio is expected to release additional liquidity amounting to around one trillion yuan, approximately $138.5 billion, to the market.

Earlier this month, Tapiero said consumer expectations on the US economy have fallen to levels last witnessed during the Global Financial Crisis in March of 2009. The corrective measures that could be taken, argued Tapiero, would impact Bitcoin positively.

“This is extreme data. Much lower rates and US dollar needed to offset fiscal austerity. Fiat debasement equals +BTC.”

Bitcoin to $200,000? Investor Dan Tapiero Says One Catalyst Could Send Bitcoin Flying if US Economy Slows Hard

Coinbase has agreed to pay $2.9 billion to buy bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) options platform Deribit, according to a press release, marking its official push into the highly profitable crypto derivatives market in the U.S.

The crypto exchange, alongside competitor Kraken, had been in talks to buy Deribit for months, with Bloomberg reporting that options giant could be valued at $4 billion to $5 billion.

Kraken, instead, purchased U.S. futures platform Ninja Trader for $1.5 billion, allowing the exchange to compete with Coinbase in offering futures and derivatives in the U.S.

Coinbase’s acquisition comes after what has been a busy year in crypto dealmaking as companies are positioning themselves in what U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to become the “crypto capital of the world.”

The deal with Deribit includes $700 million in cash and 11 million shares of Coinbase Class A common stock, according to the companies, making it one of the largest deals in the industry.

“We’re excited to join forces with Coinbase to power a new era in global crypto derivatives,” Deribit CEO Luuk Strijers said in a statement.

“As the leading crypto options platform, we’ve built a strong, profitable business, and this acquisition will accelerate the foundation we laid while providing traders with even more opportunities across spot, futures, perpetuals, and options – all under one trusted brand. Together with Coinbase, we’re set to shape the future of the global crypto derivatives market," Strijers.

Founded in 2016, Deribit has quickly taken over market share for digital asset options trading. The exchange processed $1.2 trillion in volume in 2024, a 95% year-over-year increase, the company had reported in January.

Coinbase (COIN) Agrees to Buy Crypto Options Giant Deribit in $2.9B Cash, Stock Deal

Data from Bank of America (BofA) reportedly shows that investors appear to be fleeing US markets in the wake of tariff-induced volatility.

The financial giant notes in a new analysis that US equities witnessed an $8.9 billion outflow in the week leading up to April 30th, CNBC reports.

European equities, by contrast, witnessed a $3.4 billion inflow in the week leading up to April 30th, and Japanese stocks saw a $4.4 billion inflow.

BofA also notes that for every $100 worth of inflow into the US stock market since the presidential election last November, there was $5 worth of outflow in the past three weeks.

The crypto sector witnessed inflows of $2.3 billion in the past week, and high-yield bonds saw inflows of $3.9 billion, suggesting investor appetite for risk, according to BofA. Gold and Treasuries, by contrast, saw a combined $6 billion worth of outflows.

The bank notes that its clients are now more worried about deflation than inflation and have been adjusting their portfolios accordingly, acquiring shares of utilities and low-volatility, high-dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Last month, Bank of America’s team of market strategists warned that the US stock market’s recovery could be short-lived, advising clients to “sell into rallies in US stocks and the dollar.”

The bank strategists said debasement of the US dollar is the “cleanest investment theme to play.”

$3, just $3.

That's all Movement network earned in fees over the past 24 hours, DeFiLlama data shows, the lowest in a week for the embattled chain once valued at $1 billion.

Daily DEX volumes have cratered below $500K, a dramatic fall from earlier exuberance that saw the network process more than $2 million a day.

The slide comes days after CoinDesk reported irregularities with how the MOVE token was distributed and supplied to trading firms.

Ironically, the MOVE token launched before the chain existed, raising millions via private sales while the actual blockchain infrastructure lagged far behind.

The project handed out 66 million MOVE tokens (5% of supply) to a market-making firm called Rentech, which dumped nearly all of it for $38 million.

Founder Rushi Manche was terminated on May 7, just days after being suspended. He admitted to “zero oversight” and blamed bad-faith advisers for the project’s collapse in X posts following the CoinDesk report.

MOVE has fallen over 85% from its peak of $1.45 in December 2024 to just 15 cents.

With no trust, no traction and, now, almost no fees, Movement has turned into the cautionary tale of 2025 — a billion-dollar paper promise with a $3 reality.

Crypto Daybook Americas: Trump Trade Tease Lifts Market While Movement's Fees Evaporate

Billionaire Bill Ackman’s hedge fund, Pershing Square, has spent nearly $1 billion to accumulate shares of one real estate development firm.

Perishing Square has poured $900 million into buying 9 million shares of Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH).

Ackman’s fund paid a premium of 48% compared to HHH’s closing stock price last Friday and now controls 46.9% of the real estate firm’s shares, per a new press release.

Ackman, who has been named the executive chairman of the HHH board of directors, says the investment will help expand HHH into a diversified holding company.

“HHH has built substantial value for shareholders in recent years that has largely gone unrecognized due to the high cost of capital that the market assigns to the Company in light of its pure-play exposure to real estate development and community creation. We believe that HHH is a superb platform to build a faster-growing, high-returning holding company that will acquire control of companies that meet Pershing Square’s criteria for business quality and durable growth.”

In an interview with Yahoo Finance, Ackman noted he made the investment with eyes toward following in the footsteps of legendary investor Warren Buffett.

“The story begins arguably when I began my career. Very early on, Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway letters, beginnings of my investment education. And the story of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett buying basically control of a textile business and then transforming it over time into a diversified holding company.”

Ackman says “the ultimate investment dream” is to have a public company built with permanent capital.

“You can follow investment principles and build a business of significance. And that’s what Warren has achieved, that’s what we hope to achieve with Howard Hughes.”

Billionaire Bill Ackman Pours $900,000,000 Into NYSE-Listed Firm in Push To Follow Warren Buffett’s Footsteps

Bitcoin (BTC) flirted with $100,000 Thursday as major cryptocurrencies including dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano’s ADA led crypto market gains, boosted by dovish signals from the Federal Reserve and a pending trade deal teased by U.S. President Donald Trump.

DOGE added 5% and ADA jumped 4%, while ether (ETH), BNB Chain’s BNB, xrp (XRP) and Solana’s SOL gained 2%-3%. The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index tracking the largest tokens, rose 2.2%.

In a social media post late Wednesday, Trump said the U.S. will unveil a “big” trade deal with a “highly respected country” at a press conference slated for 10 a.m. ET. Bloomberg, the Financial Times and New York Times all identified the country as the U.K.

The announcement would mark the start of “many” such deals, Trump added, raising speculation that months of tariff-fueled uncertainty is set to ease, possibly reviving risk appetite across global markets.

Tariff concerns have rocked equities and commodities in recent weeks. Any resolution that improves cost dynamics for U.S. businesses could serve as a tailwind for risk assets, including crypto.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday was no surprise, though it left markets divided on when cuts might begin.

The CME FedWatch Tool shows probabilities for a July cut to the 4.00%-4.25% range at 55%, even as traders priced in a cumulative 100 basis points of easing by year-end.

“Bitcoin is inching back up to $100k with the steady Fed rate decision and the topic of future rate cuts having more consideration by traders,” said Semir Gabeljic, head of Pythagoras Investments. “Based on the current administration’s pressure on the Fed chair, anything is a possibility—uncertainty is the only certainty.”

Other observers warned that policymakers could be walking into a period of stagflation, which occurs when high inflation, stagnant economic growth and rising unemployment occur simultaneously — considered highly detrimental for a healthy economy.

“The Federal Reserve faces an intensifying policy dilemma that threatens both sides of its dual mandate,” said Gabe Selby, head of research at CF Benchmarks, told CoinDesk in a message.

“With businesses largely passing rising tariff costs onto consumers ... inflation is expected to reaccelerate over the next six months, while labor market indicators point to a deteriorating employment outlook,” Selby said.

Selby added that while CF Benchmarks still anticipates “around 100bps of rate cuts by year-end,” the Fed could err by acting too late, risking further economic pain.

“In this volatile macro backdrop, bitcoin has clearly emerged as a key beneficiary,” Selby noted, citing record inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, including BlackRock’s IBIT, which has seen $4.3 billion in inflows over the past month.

Meanwhile, Jupiter Zheng, a partner at HashKey Capital, said BTC's recent price moves are part of a broader structural shift.

“Bitcoin's rise is a testament to its hedge against macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility,” Zheng said. “Investors increasingly view crypto as a core part of resilient portfolios.”

The US dollar could suffer a major sell-off by Asian investors and exporters triggered by trade tensions, according to a pair of macroeconomic and currency strategists.

Eurizon SLJ Capital’s analysts Stephen Jen and Joana Freireat say in a new investment note that Asian investors have accumulated a massive pile of USD that could be ditched en masse if trade wars intensify and the dollar weakens, reports Bloomberg.

According to the analysts, if the US-driven trade conflict grows, a significant number of Asian investors could bring substantial capital back home or seek to bolster their defenses against a declining USD.

That, they warn, could leave the dollar facing a $2.5 trillion “avalanche” of selling.

“We suspect these dollar hoardings by Asian exporters and institutional investors may be extremely large – possibly on the order of $2.5 trillion or so – and pose sharp downside risks to the dollar vis-à-vis these Asian currencies.”

Bloomberg says its dollar gauge has dropped about 8% from a February high. Meanwhile, Asian currencies have strengthened versus the greenback in the past month.

President Trump signed an executive order in April that imposed a 10% tariff on all imported goods entering the US, with the stated aim of increasing domestic manufacturing. The President also issued a proclamation that slapped reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries.

The Trump administration says it is currently engaging with more than a dozen countries around the world to craft new trade deals.

Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer are set to meet with their Chinese counterparts to discuss trade and economic issues in Switzerland this week.

Analysts Say $2,500,000,000,000 ‘Avalanche’ of Selling Could Hit US Dollar, Warn Trade Wars Threatening Greenback’s Appeal: Report

У четвер на початку дня Bitcoin наблизилася до 100 000 доларів, оскільки президент Дональд Трамп заявив, що незабаром буде оголошено про тарифну угоду з «великою, дуже шанованою країною».

Трамп проведе пресконференцію щодо «важливої» торговельної угоди о 10:00 за східним часом, де оголошення має стати «першим із багатьох».

Ідентичність країни, про яку йдеться, залишається неясною. Тим не менш.деякі звіти кажуть, що вважається, що послаблення тарифів у Великій Британії може пом'якшити інфляційний тиск і покращити фон для інвестування в Крипто, технології та інші активи з високим бета-коефіцієнтом.





За останні 24 години Bitcoin зріс більш ніж на 5%, продовживши своє тижневе Rally на тлі покращення макроекономічних умов.

Поєднання падіння дохідності BOND , ослаблення долара та відновлення інституційних потоків у спотові Bitcoin ETF стимулювало зростання.

Ця заява також пролунала на тлі зростаючого політичного тиску на лідерів США щодо протидії зростаючому впливу Китаю та відродження вітчизняного виробництва. Хоча всі деталі залишаються в таємниці, будь-яке скасування тарифів може швидко підняти ціни на ризикові активи.

The messaging app used by some members of the Trump administration and the US government has been hacked, according to a new report.

404 Media reports that a hacker stole customer data from TeleMessage, an Israeli software company that provides modified versions of messaging apps like Signal.

The US government reportedly uses modified apps to archive messages.

A Reuters photo last week revealed that Michael Waltz, the recently ousted national security adviser, was using TeleMessage to communicate with colleagues during a Trump administration cabinet meeting.

Trump said last week on Truth Social that he plans to nominate Waltz to serve as the US ambassador to the United Nations. The former national security adviser fell into hot water earlier this year for accidentally adding a journalist to a sensitive Signal chat about war plans between top Trump administration figures.

The identity of the hacker remains unknown, but 404 Media viewed the hacked material that was anonymously provided. The hacker also anonymously noted that the hack took 15-20 minutes and “wasn’t much effort at all.”

The hacker didn’t access Waltz’s messages specifically, but the thief did access data related to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the crypto exchange Coinbase, as well as other financial institutions. A screenshot shows that the hacker was able to access a TeleMessage panel that lists the names, phone numbers and email addresses of CPB employees.

The screenshot also shows an option to select 747 entries, suggesting that the attacker has access to the data of hundreds of US government employees.

Messaging App Used by Trump Admin Hacked – Attacker May Have Stolen Data From Hundreds of Government Employees: Report

Credit card giant Visa is investing in the stablecoin payments network BVNK as a means of upgrading its business-to-business transactions.

In a new company blog post, BVNK chief executive and co-founder Jesse Hemson-Struthers says that Visa is investing an undisclosed amount into the firm as a means of automating and streamlining global stablecoin payments between businesses.

“At BVNK, we recognized early that stablecoins would emerge as an instant global payment rail and a viable alternative to the traditional correspondent banking system.

That’s why we’ve built our infrastructure from the ground up to automate and orchestrate stablecoin payments at scale, making these new rails accessible to businesses of all sizes.”

According to Hemson-Struthers, collaborating with Visa, which he calls the “original payments innovator,” will change how businesses operate digitally and will help the UK-based firm to expand into the US.

The Federal Reserve is growing increasingly alert to stagflation risks—an uneasy mix of slowing growth and rising inflation that could challenge policymakers.

While Chair Jerome Powell insisted that the economy is in "good shape" and emphasized that the central bank is in “a good position to wait and see,” prior to shifting policy, subtle changes in the central bank's policy statement pointed to heightened concerns over the economy’s direction.

Holding its benchmark interest rate steady today, the U.S. central bank acknowledged the growing risk of rising inflation and unemployment — roughly the definition of stagflation, which last made an appearance throughout a sizable chunk of the 1970s. That scenario would leave the central bank with limited room to maneuver to stimulate a weakening economy without further fueling inflation.

“The Fed is worried about stagflation,” Zach Pandl, head of research at Grayscale, posted on X after the decision. “We think that outcome would be good for bitcoin.”

In an earlier report, Pandl argued that rising tariffs contribute to stagflation, which historically hurts traditional assets but benefits scarce stores of value like gold. “Bitcoin was not around for past stagflations,” he wrote, “but can be considered a scarce digital commodity and is increasingly viewed as a modern store of value.”

Bitcoin traded in a tight range following the Fed’s announcement and Powell’s remarks. It briefly touched $97,500 earlier Wednesday on optimism around U.S.-China trade talks before settling back to $96,500 — up 1.6% over the past 24 hours.

The CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20), a broader gauge of the crypto market, was up just 0.3% over the same period, weighed down by 1%-3% declines in XRP, AVAX, UNI, NEAR, and AAVE.

Meanwhile, equities recovered modestly from earlier losses, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing 0.4% and 0.3% higher, respectively.
