Crypto: Crucial Conference On February 4 – America Goes On The Offensive

As the crypto markets struggle under the shock of Trump’s tariffs, a new player enters the scene: David Sacks, the man who whispers to AI and digital assets. On February 4th, this shadow strategist will unveil Washington’s battle plan to regain control of a space in complete chaos. Between historical crash and geopolitical war, America is going all in.

Trump, taxes, and the crypto crash: the noose tightens

Trump’s announcements have not been subtle: 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, 10% on China. The result? A seismic shock to the markets. Bitcoin plunged below $100,000, while XRP and Cardano collapsed by 17% and 22% in 24 hours. Even Trump’s portfolio, in a twist of fate, lost 20% of its value. A widespread purge, with $8 to $10 billion liquidated according to Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit.

The brutal drop reignites a burning debate: has Bitcoin become a risky asset, dependent on the whims of geopolitics?

For Amit Kukreja, a crypto influencer, the answer is clear: *”Cryptos are not a safe haven. Their price dances to the rhythm of global liquidity… and that is drying up.”* A chilling observation that buries the utopia of a market disconnected from traditional turbulence.

Stock indices and cryptos are tumbling in tandem. Proof that the boundary between TradFi and DeFi is eroding. Algorithms, hungry for liquidity, turn every presidential tweet into a tidal wave. And the next wave could be even more violent: starting February 18, Trump threatens to tax the EU, oil, steel… Further suffocating investors.

February 4: America strikes back with Sacks at the helm

In this chaos, David Sacks embodies the hope for a reboot. His conference on February 4th will not be just a simple speech: it is a manifesto. The goal? “Consolidate US dominance in the digital space,” according to sources close to Congress. The agenda includes: a clear regulatory framework, public-private partnerships… and an offensive to marginalize China and Europe.

The Biden administration relies on double language. On one hand, protecting investors (through safeguards against abuse). On the other hand, stimulating innovation to keep Silicon Valley ahead.

Sacks knows it: who controls the narrative controls the market. By associating crypto with AI (two domains under his purview), he is building a made-in-USA narrative – techno-optimistic, but under supervision.

February 4 is shaping up to be a turning point. While traders nurse their portfolios with the 25 percent collapse of XRP, David Sacks is preparing for the future. His weapon? A strategy where regulation rhymes with dominance.
