Taco Tuesday: Trade Tensions and Crypto Chill đ€
Trumpâs trade game is back, slapping Japan and South Korea with 25% tariffs and an August 1, 2025, deadline. Markets are cool with it, betting on delays, but if tariffs hit, growth could tank. US fiscal policy keeps pumping cash, propping up profits and incomes, while the Fed plays it safe with Quantitative Tightening. Watch for the debt ceiling, Quarterly Refunding, and Jackson Hole in August. In crypto, Bitcoinâs riding high near record levels, thanks to ETFs and corporate buying. Smaller firms are borrowing to stack BTC, and Solana ETF approvals might drop early, with memecoins heating up. Markets are quiet now, but Q3/Q4 could get spicy.
The mix of trade threats and crypto resilience is wildâTrumpâs tariff bluff feels like a rerun, but the economic risk is real. Bitcoinâs institutional takeover is unstoppable, and Solanaâs ETF buzz could wake up altcoins. The âcalm before the stormâ vibe checks out; things are too chill, and late 2025 might bring chaos. The Taco Tuesday spin is quirky but almost distracts from the high stakes.
