Bitcoin Adoption Reaches 4.7%, Echoing Early Internet Growth
Bitcoin adoption has now reached "4.7% of the global population", mirroring the Internet’s adoption rate in 1997 — signaling it may be entering an early "exponential growth phase". This milestone suggests Bitcoin is still in the early stages of mainstream acceptance, with growing use driven by institutional investment, financial inclusion in underbanked regions, and expanding accessibility through user-friendly crypto tools. Analysts project that if Bitcoin follows the same trajectory as the Internet, it could surpass "1 billion global users by the early 2030s", marking a transformative period for digital finance and global economic systems.

Following one of the most volatile trading days in crypto history, Binance announced a $283 million compensation plan for users affected by losses from token depegging and platform issues. The exchange’s move came after extreme market turbulence triggered $19 billion in liquidations across exchanges, with Binance accounting for $2.3 billion. Despite the chaos, BNB surged 17% to a new all-time high of $1,355, reflecting renewed investor confidence in the exchange’s resilience. Binance also pledged system improvements and tighter risk controls to prevent future incidents, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and user trust.
Trump Tariffs Spark $10B Crypto Crash, Bitcoin Inflows Surge
President Donald Trump’s announcement of higher tariffs on Chinese imports sparked intense volatility across global markets, triggering one of the largest sell-offs in cryptocurrency history. Nearly $10 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated as Bitcoin and Ethereum prices plunged. However, the turmoil also fueled record trading activity in Bitcoin funds, with institutional investors pouring billions into crypto as a hedge against geopolitical and economic uncertainty. This surge pushed Bitcoin fund volumes to historic highs, underscoring its growing role as a preferred asset during global market turbulence.
Trump’s $870M Bitcoin Investment Revealed
Forbes reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump now owns approximately $870 million worth of Bitcoin, making him one of the world’s largest individual holders. His position is held indirectly through Trump Media & Technology Group, which purchased around $2 billion in Bitcoin, with Trump owning 41% of the firm. This marks a major shift from his earlier crypto skepticism in 2019, when he criticized Bitcoin as “highly volatile.” Now, Trump has embraced digital assets as part of his financial and political strategy, integrating crypto into his media ventures and signaling broader support for blockchain innovation through policy and public endorsements.
Crypto Market Wiped Out as Trump Doubles China Tariffs
The cryptocurrency market suffered its largest-ever liquidation, exceeding $19 billion, after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, triggering widespread panic and a global market sell-off. Within 24 hours, over 1.6 million traders saw their leveraged positions wiped out as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and major altcoins plunged sharply. Bitcoin dropped over 12%, briefly falling below $102,000, while Ethereum lost around $4.4 billion in liquidations. Analysts attributed the crash to cascading forced liquidations and heightened fears of a renewed U.S.–China trade war, warning that continued geopolitical tensions could fuel further volatility across both traditional and digital markets.
Crypto.com CEO Calls for Probe After $20B Crypto Market Crash
Hyperliquid led the recent wave of crypto liquidations with over $10.3 billion wiped out, followed by Bybit with $4.65 billion and Binance with $2.41 billion, according to Coinglass data. Known for its high leverage of up to 50x and whale trading activity, Hyperliquid’s decentralized structure has amplified risks during market volatility, triggering massive position losses — including multimillion-dollar LINK and BTC trades. The event highlights the dangers of excessive leverage and the need for stronger risk management tools, as even small price swings can cascade into billions in forced liquidations across exchanges.
Polymarket Founder Named Youngest Crypto Billionaire
At just 27, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has become the world’s youngest self-made billionaire after Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, invested $2 billion for a 20% stake, valuing the blockchain-based prediction platform at $9 billion. Coplan’s 11% share pushes his net worth beyond $1 billion, marking a major milestone in decentralized finance. Polymarket’s rapid rise showcases growing investor confidence in blockchain applications that extend beyond trading, as institutional backing solidifies its position as one of the fastest-growing startups in the crypto industry.
China Calls for Dialogue as U.S. Tariffs Escalate Trade Tensions
China defended its new export controls on rare earth minerals as defensive measures, responding to U.S. trade restrictions that led President Trump to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Beijing criticized Washington’s actions as unfair and called for dialogue over confrontation to prevent further economic instability. The escalating dispute underscores the vital role of rare earths in global technology and manufacturing supply chains, raising concerns about long-term trade disruption.
Trump Signals Softer Stance on China, Boosting Market Optimism
President Trump’s softened tone toward China signals a possible easing of trade tensions after months of tariff escalation. He acknowledged that current tariffs of up to 145% were “very high” and expressed openness to negotiation, prompting market rebounds and renewed investor optimism. Beijing has responded positively, signaling willingness for dialogue, while both sides explore potential grounds for compromise. Although internal divisions remain within Trump’s administration, this shift marks a strategic move to stabilize markets and rebuild economic cooperation between the U.S. and China.
