2. Re-examination of fundamentals: Is the current BTC market a typical correction or will it go bearish?
The macroeconomic landscape is filled with huge uncertainty, and the Trump administration is trying to subvert and restructure the status quo of global trade relations. Currently, U.S. Treasuries are the collateral and foundation of the financial system, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond is regarded as the benchmark risk-free rate. A key goal of the government is to reduce the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yield, and it has achieved initial results in the first few months of this year, with the yield falling to 3.7% as the market sold off generally. However, the goal was short-lived, as yields subsequently surged to 4.5%, erasing that progress and causing huge volatility in the bond market.Click to read

5. Trump's Crypto Tax Reform: Where is the Way?
Before 2022, Trump had been a critic of cryptocurrencies. In 2019, Trump called Bitcoin a "scam" and expressed his doubts about crypto assets by calling cryptocurrencies "money created out of thin air." However, in 2022, Trump's stance on cryptocurrencies changed radically. In December of that year, he launched an NFT themed aftermath of the bull market and the NFT craze, earning millions of dollars in profits. Since then, Trump has transformed from an open critic of cryptocurrencies to an active participant. By 2024, he became the first US presidential candidate to accept cryptocurrency donations, and listed a series of promises to promote the growth of the cryptocurrency industry, playing the "crypto card" in the campaign. A few days ago, Trump signed the first cryptocurrency bill to become law in the United States, officially repealing the DeFi broker tax reporting rules previously issued by the IRS. At the beginning of the release of the rules, the crypto industry generally believed that this would bring heavy blows to the DeFi ecosystem and even the entire crypto industry. In fact, as early as during the campaign for this presidency, Trump promised to make drastic reforms to the cryptocurrency-related system. After the start of this term, whether it is personnel changes in regulatory departments, the gradual introduction of relevant regulations, or the authorization of the issuance of $Trump, it shows that Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises and showing a positive embrace and willingness to promote cryptocurrencies.
