The US Supreme Court also delayed making a decision on the Trump-imposed tariffs. Bitcoin’s price volatility returned on Friday afternoon following the latest developments on US soil.

XRP is already down by double digits since its recent peak, is there more pain ahead? Almost the entire cryptocurrency market began the new year with a bang, charting substantial gains in the span of just a few days, even as the political tension in the Americas unfolded.

A time like this in 2025, everyone thought the Bitcoin price would reach $1M. Donald Trump was nearly two months into office, planning nice goodies for the industry. And indeed, Bitcoin rallied, pushing to $110,000 before flushing out the usual 1000X leverage traders.

If it does, the resulting momentum could easily propel the BTC USD price well above the psychological $100,000 mark. Considering the positive…

Ethereum is often described as a blockchain for money, but that description is too narrow. At its heart, Ethereum is trying to become a shared infrastructure for value, identity, and coordination on the internet.
