BTC & ETH Down ahead of White House Crypto Summit
By Manoj Dharra
In today’s market update we are going to discuss – 1. Why BTC, ETH trading lower despite Trump Signing Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order, 2. Why SUI is trading higher despite market downturn, 3. Which US States Passed BTC Reserves Bill, and 4. How can you earn 12% APY on your USDT? Let’s get started.
- The establishment of a Bitcoin-specific reserve aligns with Trump’s campaign commitments, but the execution fell short of market expectations.
- The executive order was announced ahead of a high-profile gathering of crypto industry leaders in Washington, yet sentiment soured as stakeholders found the details underwhelming.
- The market faced headwinds amid concerns over a lack of fresh institutional inflows.
- Previously, traders had positioned themselves for upside, speculating on government-led Bitcoin purchases.
- However, with clarity on the order’s limitations, leveraged long positions are now being unwound, triggering risk-off flows.
- Volatility gripped the markets surrounding the non-Bitcoin reserve.
- As per the directive, the government would not accumulate additional crypto holdings beyond assets seized through forfeiture proceedings, effectively capping potential acquisitions.
- Investor sentiment turned bearish in February, weighed down by macro headwinds, including tariff uncertainties, the fallout from a $1.5 billion crypto exploit, and sustained outflows from digital-asset ETFs.
- Ethereum: Fell 5%, reaching $2,150.
- XRP, Solana, and Cardano: Experienced significant drops (8%, 7%, and 10%, respectively) post-announcement.
- Texas Becomes First US State to Establish Bitcoin Reserve, enabling the state to invest public funds into Bitcoin and other digital assets. It will hold Bitcoin and other cryptos with a market capitalization of at least $500 billion.
- 50K New Bitcoin Wallets Signal Growing Network Participation Despite Price Swings.
- Smaller Bitcoin investors increased significantly, while whales reduced holdings slightly.
- Bitcoin’s Options Expiry Today May Influence Price Fluctuations Amid Market Uncertainty As over $3 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options approach expiry, traders brace for potential volatility and market shifts in the crypto landscape.
- Canary Capital registers for a SUI ETF in Delaware, indicating it may soon file for a spot SUI ETF. SUI Jumps 5% (CMP -$2.80).
- Nasdaq-listed Bionexus Gene Lab Corp Makes History With Ethereum-Focused Treasury Strategy. This move makes the Nasdaq-listed company the first to “exclusively prioritize Ethereum (ETH) as a strategic treasury asset.”
- Vietnam To Pilot Digital Asset And Cryptocurrency Exchange. The exchange will provide a platform for investors, organisations, and individuals to execute the trading, buying, and selling of virtual assets.
- HTX Rolls Out USDT Deposits for USDD Flexible Earn with Stable 12% APY. You can deposit USDT and earn 12% annual percentage yield (APY) on your holdings, with no fixed commitment. Unlike locked savings, you can withdraw your funds anytime without penalties. This is great for users seeking stable returns on their digital assets without locking them up for long periods.
- Technical Check
- Outlook
- Trump is set to host the first White House Crypto Summit today, where further details about the administration’s digital asset policies may emerge. However, for now, the crypto market remains in a wait-and-see mode, with traders reassessing expectations about government involvement in the space. Monitoring the market closely for emerging trends and price levels will be essential for effective decision-making in the current environment.
