⚔️ Trade War Reignites: Record Liquidations Shake Crypto Markets as Institutions Keep Buying
Global markets faced sharp turbulence this week after the US-China trade war reignited, following President Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese exports. The move triggered the largest liquidation event in crypto history, wiping out over US$19 billion and sending Bitcoin and Ethereum down around 10% for the week.
Amid the chaos, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted that the end of quantitative tightening could be near, raising expectations of two potential rate cuts before year-end — offering a brief sense of relief across risk markets.
Despite the sell-off, institutional confidence remains firm. Both MicroStrategy and BitMine expanded their BTC and ETH holdings, while the U.S. government unexpectedly emerged as one of the week’s largest Bitcoin accumulators following a major asset seizure.
As volatility intensifies and monetary easing comes into view, experienced investors continue to stay active — balancing risk management with strategic accumulation ahead of the next market cycle.
