According to Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, China's reaction to the new American tariffs could trigger a massive capital flight towards bitcoin. This dynamic, which has already been observed in the past, could reignite the bullish trend of the crypto market in 2025.
The trade war orchestrated by Donald Trump has reached an unprecedented level, with record tariffs of 104% imposed on Chinese products. This sudden, almost surreal escalation has caught the crypto markets off guard, immediately plunging bitcoin into a downward spiral. But is this decline sustainable or merely a masked opportunity?
Michael Saylor, an emblematic figure of Bitcoin, has long wielded his strategy as a banner of absolute hodl. However, a recent filing with the SEC has begun to crack this narrative. The man who promised to bequeath his BTC to a dedicated foundation is now considering selling — at least under duress. A turnaround that raises questions: how far can one challenge financial and regulatory realities in the name of conviction?

The crypto market is regaining its colors after the "Black Monday" on April 7, which led to over one billion dollars in liquidations within 24 hours. Currently, the global crypto market capitalization stands at 2.53 trillion dollars, up 3.08% in a day, signaling a possible return of investor confidence.
Bitcoin is catching everyone off guard. Amid a stock market collapse triggered by Trump's new tariffs, the cryptocurrency is showing unexpected resilience. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are plummeting, and gold is struggling to reassure, BTC is gaining ground. This movement shakes up the certainties about its correlation with traditional markets and rekindles the debate: is Bitcoin establishing itself as a fully-fledged asset during systemic crises?
1 Zettahash, a technical victory for Bitcoin, but a chilling economic blow for miners: a record power that hides compressed margins and falling prices.
After reaching a new historical record at the beginning of the year, bitcoin recorded a decline of over 15% in the first quarter of 2025. This situation is causing concern among many short-term investors who are leaving the market with significant losses, comparable to those observed during the FTX collapse.
Bitcoin, often regarded as a safe haven against the volatility of traditional markets, finds itself this week caught in a global storm fueled by trade tensions between the United States and the rest of the world. Following a series of economic shocks, some analysts do not hesitate to compare the current situation to a Black Monday 2.0. But is it really the end of the bull market for Bitcoin or just a simple correction phase? Here are five key points to remember this week to understand the challenges Bitcoin is facing.
The storm is hitting crypto. On the night of April 7, 2025, Bitcoin collapsed below the symbolic threshold of $75,000, hitting an intraday low of $74,637! In just 24 hours, the leading cryptocurrency lost more than 10%, triggering a shockwave across the entire market.
While stock markets are experiencing a historic loss, Bitcoin is losing ground and has fallen below 80,000 dollars. This decline, far from being trivial, reignites the debate about its safe haven function. At a time when trade and political tensions are reshaping the global economy, the line between traditional assets and cryptocurrencies is blurring. A moment of truth is therefore approaching for BTC and for investors' allocation strategies.
The crypto market is experiencing one of its most violent crashes today. After resisting the Trump storm until now, it has finally given in! In just 60 minutes, over 200 million dollars have been liquidated, taking with them the hopes for a short-term rebound. As a result, the total market has fallen to 2.51 trillion dollars, showing a loss of more than 5% in less than 24 hours.
Numbers are plummeting, volumes are exploding, and institutional investors are quietly slipping away. Bitcoin ETFs may be entering this pivotal moment where silence speaks louder than words.
A historic day on Wall Street: on April 4, 2025, American markets lost $3.25 trillion, more than the total market capitalization of crypto. This brutal drop, triggered by tariff measures from Trump, reveals a deep crisis. Bitcoin, however, endures. An analysis of an economic shift.

Bitcoin may soon have to sacrifice some of its coins to survive the quantum era. In the face of the growing threat from quantum computers, a radical plan is on the table: to permanently burn thousands of bitcoins. This controversial project, called QRAMP ("Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol"), proposes a hard fork to secure the network at the cost of a partial destruction of non-migrated BTC. The Bitcoin community must now choose between immediate security and absolute adherence to the original principles of cryptocurrency.
The sentiment for bitcoin is at its lowest since the beginning of 2023. However, several analysts are identifying encouraging signs of a possible change in momentum as the queen of cryptos shows remarkable resilience in the face of recent volatility in the US stock markets.

Bitcoin could surge to $88,500 this weekend, according to Standard Chartered. Indeed, far from a simple bullish prediction, this projection is part of a complete re-evaluation of the asset's role. For the bank, BTC no longer mimics gold. It now behaves like a leading technological asset, capable of weathering macroeconomic shocks. In a tense market, this stance redraws the lines of an asset undergoing a strategic transformation.
According to a recent report by Binance Research, Bitcoin could undergo a major transformation, evolving from a mere store of value to a true productive asset. This shift is driven by the rapid expansion of decentralized finance based on Bitcoin (BTCFi), whose total value locked has surged by over 2,700% in one year.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of Bitmex and a prominent figure in the crypto ecosystem, recently expressed his support for tariff policies as a lever to strengthen assets such as Bitcoin and Gold. In an uncertain global context, marked by economic and geopolitical tensions, Hayes believes that these assets can serve as shields against inflation and market volatility.
While Bitcoin has retreated by 25% from its all-time high of over $109,000, an unexpected movement is emerging: whales are returning to their purchases. These large wallets, often seen as market barometers, are marking their first real return to accumulation since August 2024, according to Glassnode. In a context dominated by distribution and a sentiment reminiscent of the lows of 2022, this strategic signal could disturb the prevailing bearish consensus and reignite investor attention on current levels.

A simple political speech can sometimes shake the entire crypto market. This Tuesday, an announcement by Donald Trump about new tariff increases triggered a wave of liquidations exceeding 500 million dollars. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana plunged within a few hours, revealing the market's fragility in the face of geopolitical tensions. While leveraged traders were racking up losses, some institutions quietly took the opportunity to strengthen their positions.
As Bitcoin (BTC) remains above $81,000, signals of a shift in dynamics are multiplying. Recent data suggests a transition towards an accumulation phase, marked by a decline in spot sales and negative funding rates on trading platforms. This technical context, often a precursor to a bullish reversal, could well signal a forthcoming impulsive move.

The crypto market is heading straight towards an impending cataclysm: a staggering crash of assets with a bewildering 70% probability! This, fueled by chaotic global economic factors and the ruthless tariffs imposed by Trump. Investors are increasingly worried, but a fragile hope remains, the only thing capable of stopping this descent into hell.
