Trump's tariff policy adjustments can be summarized as 'differential treatment': relaxing restrictions on most countries, while tightening them solely on China.
1. Relaxing restrictions on most countries for 90 days
On April 9, Trump announced a 90-day suspension of new tariffs on over 70 countries (including the EU, Japan, South Korea, etc.), meaning that the originally planned tariffs will not be imposed for the time being. However, China has been excluded and remains the only target for increased tariffs.
2. Doubling tariffs on China
Tariffs on Chinese goods will rise directly from 104% to 125% (some reports indicate it could reach 145%), which means nearly doubling the tax on each item. Trump demands that China must make 'substantial concessions' before considering a tax reduction, otherwise high tariffs may be maintained long-term.
According to TechFlow's report, just yesterday (April 26), Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff from Georgia publicly criticized Trump during a meeting: the President turned the dinner with Meme coin investors into a 'paid meet-and-greet', and this behavior has become severe enough to warrant impeachment.
In simple terms: What did Trump do? He sent invitations to major holders of his Meme coin 'Trump Coin', promising that the first 220 holders could attend a private dinner, and the top 25 could even tour the White House. As soon as the news broke, the coin soared 60% within 24 hours.
Why is the senator angry? Ossoff believes this is clearly 'selling positions'—exchanging political privileges for investors' money. He said: 'This is not just a simple conflict of interest, but directly pricing the presidential position!'
What is the likelihood of impeachment? Although Democratic lawmakers are outraged, the reality is that the Republicans control the House of Representatives, making it impossible to initiate impeachment proceedings; it feels more like a political outcry.
This is not the first time Trump has stirred controversy over cryptocurrency.
Previously, his 'Trump Coin' was questioned as a tool for 'screwing over investors', with its price plummeting 82% from its peak, leaving 200,000 retail investors with nothing.
This dinner incident is just a more blatant example of 'monetizing power'.

China makes a big move! 600 billion "blood transfusion" to the market, will high-priced American goods decrease?
1. High-priced American goods may decrease in price
China is considering canceling the 125% high tariffs imposed on certain American imports, involving key areas such as medical equipment and aircraft parts. This is similar to the previous situation where buying American imported goods required paying a "double markup tax"; this fee may now be canceled, and related product prices may decrease.
2. The central bank issues a 600 billion "red envelope" to stabilize the market.
To cope with economic pressure, China's central bank recently injected 600 billion yuan into the banking system (equivalent to giving banks a "red envelope"), the largest monthly capital injection since the end of 2023.
Is the Bitcoin ETF going to defy the odds? BlackRock's product is going crazy, challenging the global ETF throne with $500 billion.
Michael Saylor, known in the industry as the 'Bitcoin Father', has recently made bold claims again! At the New York Investment Summit, he confidently guaranteed that BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) will become the largest ETF in the world within ten years, leaving behind old contenders like gold and stocks!
Why is he so confident?:
1. The 'central bank' of Bitcoin is in charge: Saylor's MicroStrategy has invested $550 million, hoarding 6,556 Bitcoins, with a total holding of 538,000 Bitcoins (worth $36.5 billion), equivalent to the 'national treasury' of the Bitcoin world.
2. IBIT's performance is dazzling: since its launch in January last year, IBIT's managed scale has surged to $52.3 billion, capturing nearly 50% of the U.S. Bitcoin ETF market, leaving old rival Fidelity and Invesco far behind.
From Retail Investor to Professional Player: 9 Practical Tips to Reduce Losses
I. Leverage is not a disaster; the key is control
Beginner's misconception: "High leverage = certain death" (wrong!)
Professional strategy: 100x leverage + 1% position = controllable actual risk
Just like wearing a seatbelt in a supercar, a trader used 50x leverage + 0.5% position, hasn't been liquidated in three years and earns over 300% annually
II. Stop-loss is a lifesaver
In March this year, 83% of those liquidated were holding on to losses over 10%!
Survival rule: single loss not exceeding 1% of capital, like insurance for your wallet
III. When you earn, increase your position and let profits snowball
Amateur trading: take a little profit and run, miss 10x opportunities
Is Dogecoin Countdown to $1? The cup-shaped rebound hides secrets; can the bull market stage a comeback?
Recently, the star of the crypto world is undoubtedly Dogecoin! This meme coin, which comes with its own emoticon attributes, is staging a comeback. Although the price is still hovering around $0.17, the technicals suddenly reveal the "cup-shaped rebound" big move, making analysts exclaim, "The eve of the bull market is coming!"
1. Price roller coaster: From flash crash to comeback
Last week, DOGE was playing around $0.15, and suddenly there was a V-shaped reversal. It's like riding a roller coaster from the bottom up to the clouds; now the price has reached the $0.18 level. Although it has risen 4% in the last 24 hours, the trading volume has dropped a bit, just over $1.5 billion, indicating that everyone is still waiting and watching.
The Sino-US trade war has gotten bigger again! Trump said "we've almost done the talks", and China directly responded: That's not the case!
US President Trump recently said that China and the United States are working hard to resolve the tariff increase dispute, and also hinted that tariffs on Chinese goods will be significantly reduced.
But China immediately poured cold water on it, and the spokespersons of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in unison: "Don't spread rumors! We haven't even started talking!"
Trump's operation is a bit "schizophrenic" - he shouts for negotiations, but he is still adding tariffs.
He recently said that he would reduce the tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 50%, but Finance Minister Bessant changed his words and said "there is no such plan"
What's even funnier is that just as Trump said he wanted "friendly negotiations", 12 US states formed a group to sue him for violating the constitution, saying that the president has no power to increase taxes himself
China's attitude is very tough: we can talk, but all unilateral taxes must be cancelled!
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said directly: "Want to fight? We will fight to the end! Want to talk? The door is always open!"
Now the market is confused, the stock market is like a roller coaster, and analysts say: "When these two giants fight, the global economy will have to shake."
The worst hit are American companies. Boeing aircraft were cancelled by China, beef could not be sold, and natural gas was piled up in ports.
On the other hand, China's domestically produced large aircraft C909 began to fly to Vietnam, Southeast Asian buyers lined up at the Canton Fair, and Brazilian soybeans took the opportunity to fill the vacancy in the United States.
This trade war is like two children quarreling: one shouted "I want to hit you", and the other replied "Come if you can".
In the end, the people of the two countries may suffer - American consumers have to pay for the price increase, and Chinese export companies are also gritting their teeth and bearing it.
Now the trend of SOL is like building blocks; every time a layer is added, the bottom is raised a little. If you are holding a long position, it’s like continuously reinforcing the bottom of the blocks—every time the price rises a bit, you move your stop-loss up a little. This way, even if the price suddenly pulls back, you won't be stuck halfway up the mountain, but instead can preserve the profits you've made.
Bitcoin's recent performance has been a bit 'steady as a rock', but there may be a change next week!
1. Why does it remain flat while U.S. stocks rise?
Recently, U.S. stocks have risen happily due to easing China-U.S. trade tensions (such as mutual reduction of tariffs on cars and chips), but Bitcoin has been oscillating between $91,000 and $94,000. It's like a top student suddenly flunking an exam while a poor student scores in the average range — market sentiment has become a bit subtle
2. Who is Bitcoin's 'stabilizing force'?
Although the price hasn't surged much, on-chain data shows: 1. The 'old leeks' who bought at $74,000 are still holding on (not cutting losses) 2. A large amount of new chips suddenly appeared around $93,000 (possibly large investors are stocking up)
Is Bitcoin's rebound a return of the bull market? Can ETH make a comeback?
1. How to view Bitcoin's recent rebound?
1. The price is on a roller coaster.
Recently, Bitcoin surged from a low of $74,000 to $94,000, feeling like an exhilarating roller coaster ride. This rebound broke the previous downward trend line, turning many from 'bear market fear' to 'bull market anticipation'. However, it should be noted that Bitcoin currently holds 64% of the entire crypto market share, which means smaller coins (altcoins) may face funding shortages.
2. Why did it suddenly rise? Hedge Demand: The Trump administration's tariffs have made the market uneasy, leading people to feel Bitcoin is like 'digital gold' that can resist risks.
Survival Guide in the Crypto World: How Ordinary People Can Avoid Pitfalls and Make Money?
I. Blood and tears lessons: the truth about 90% of people losing money Don't believe in the myth of "getting rich overnight": the crypto world is essentially a zero-sum game; if someone profits, someone else loses.
Don't gamble on contracts: 90% of people trading contracts end up losing all their money; it's no different from a casino
Don't go all in: invest only money you can afford to lose, leaving at least 5 parts of your capital (recommended total investment not exceeding 20% of your assets) II. The only way for ordinary people to make money: rolling strategy (suitable for investors with over 30,000 capital)
Choose the right timing to act:
Bitcoin suddenly starts after being sideways for half a year (e.g., November 2024 market)
Buy the dip after a 20% drop in a bull market (refer to February 2025 market)
Small coins suddenly become popular! Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Cardano are collectively skyrocketing. Can ordinary people seize the opportunity?
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has exploded again! Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which were originally referred to as "meme coins," have suddenly soared like rockets. It's like a once-quiet vegetable market suddenly being packed with people scrambling to buy; even the seasoned investors are saying they can't understand what's happening.
1. Dogecoin: Is Musk's endorsement back in action?
The price surged from $0.1 at the beginning of the year to $0.18, with a single-day trading volume hitting 21 "small goals." Although there haven't been any new technological breakthroughs, the global trading volume has skyrocketed by 64%!
I've heard that Tesla is researching using Dogecoin for merchandise; if that can be realized, it might really surge again.
But be careful; if one day Musk stops making noise, the price might just plummet.
2. Shiba Inu: Burning money for the future?
This coin recently made a big move—launching a new system to make transactions lightning-fast, and it promised to burn $40 million worth of tokens every month.
Now the price has jumped to $0.000013, with some calling for a 500% increase. But don’t celebrate too early; the total supply of this coin is massive, and the whales hold a lot of chips, ready to crash the price at any moment.
3. Cardano: A comeback for the tech geeks?
This project, known as "Blockchain 3.0," has quietly increased by 6%, breaking the $0.7 barrier.
They developed a new technology called "Proof of Stake," which consumes 99% less energy than Bitcoin; even the United Nations is using it for carbon-neutral payments. But be cautious; currently, 75% of the large holders are secretly selling off to reallocate.
4. What should ordinary people do?
1. Don’t just focus on the rise: These coins are like trendy milk tea shops; a long line doesn’t mean they taste good.
2. Control your position: Invest a small amount to test the waters; never bet your entire fortune.
3. Keep a close eye on news: Musk's tweets, new listings on exchanges, and policy changes could all trigger tremors.
4. Observe long-term: The ones that truly survive must have actual utility.
Regarding the question of whether Elon Musk will leave Dogecoin in May 2025, the following points need to be clarified:
1. Musk is leaving a government agency, which is unrelated to cryptocurrency.
Musk announced his resignation as the head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a temporary agency established by the Trump administration to cut costs. The 'DOGE' in the name is an abbreviation, which coincidentally shares the same name as Dogecoin's abbreviation, DOGE, but the two are entirely unrelated.
The reason for his resignation is due to term limits and hindered reforms.
2. Musk's involvement with Dogecoin continues.
Currently, there is no evidence that Musk plans to abandon Dogecoin in May 2025. On the contrary, he has recently been promoting Dogecoin-related collaborations and has repeatedly publicly supported its positioning as a 'payment tool.'
In April 2025, Musk clearly stated at a town hall meeting that 'the government will not use Dogecoin,' but this only pertains to the functions of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and is unrelated to cryptocurrency.
3. The root of the market misunderstanding: confusion caused by the name abbreviation.
The abbreviation for Dogecoin (DOGE) and the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) being the same has led to confusion among some media and investors.
For example, in February 2025, someone placed the Dogecoin mascot on the Department of Government Efficiency's official website, causing a short-term price spike, but there was no actual change in policy.
4. The relationship between Dogecoin's future and Musk.
Musk still has influence over Dogecoin, but the market is gradually becoming 'de-Musked.'
For instance, in March 2025, Dogecoin's price was able to rebound after Musk's negative remarks, indicating that community and fundamental support is strengthening.
If Musk were to completely exit, it might trigger short-term volatility, but in the long term, it could lead Dogecoin to rely more on technological development and community ecology rather than personal endorsement.
Summary
Musk will not leave Dogecoin (DOGE) in May 2025; he is resigning from an administrative position that shares a name with the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency.
The similarity in names is purely coincidental, and there is no actual business connection. The future of Dogecoin depends on technological upgrades, community activity, and regulatory policies, rather than on a single individual.
Is Bitcoin about to take off? Four key signals suggest a trend reversal; how to seize short-term funding opportunities?
I. Easing tariffs: Trade frictions are cooling, and market sentiment is warming. Event: Trump publicly acknowledged on April 22 that U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods are too high and plans to significantly reduce tax rates. Impact: Decreased demand for safe-haven assets: Tariff frictions had previously led to capital pouring into safe-haven assets like gold and the dollar; now market volatility (VIX index) has significantly decreased. Rebound in risk assets: The correlation between Bitcoin and U.S. stocks has strengthened. After the easing of tariffs, the rise in U.S. stocks boosted the sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. For example, on April 23, Bitcoin's price briefly surpassed $94,000, with a single-day increase of over 6%.
TRUMP's cryptocurrency soared like it was injected with adrenaline, increasing by 70% in a day! It surged from over $9 to $14, leaving other altcoins in the dust. However, seasoned investors could tell—this is definitely a scheme by big players and politicians to fleece retail investors! 【Revealing the Explosive Growth Scheme】 Step 1: Mysterious Big Player Lays Ambush in Advance On April 16, two large wallet holders secretly dumped $5 million (about 630,000 TRUMP) to build a position at a low price, just waiting to pump and dump. Step 2: Trump's Team Paints a Big Picture They spread the word that "the top 220 coin holders can go to the White House for a state dinner," which directly misled retail investors, prompting everyone to rush in as bag holders.
【Early Morning Stunning Reversal! Trump Delivers Three Major Gifts, Global Markets Go Wild】
At three, four, and five in the morning, on the other side of the world, Trump issued three executive orders, directly sending the US stock market and the cryptocurrency sector soaring! Dow futures skyrocketed by 500 points, Bitcoin surged by 10%, even Wall Street veterans exclaimed "I've never seen this before!"
How explosive is this operation?
1️⃣ Trade War Ceasefire: US Treasury Secretary Yellen suddenly relented, saying the tariff drama with China can't continue.
2️⃣ Tariff Gift Package: Trump personally stated "145% tariffs are too high," promising a significant reduction, and told China "let's cooperate happily."
3️⃣ Powell's Lifeline: Although he criticized the Federal Reserve for slow interest rate cuts, he clearly stated he wouldn't fire Powell.
4️⃣ Surprise Coming: Three days later, a peace plan for Russia and Ukraine will be unveiled, turning the geopolitical minefield into a sunny day.
The market suddenly woke up: It turns out those scary US debt crises and Eastern countermeasures were all smoke and mirrors! Ever since Trump signed the chip ban, everyone thought trouble was coming, but unexpectedly, there's a 180° turnaround...
Veteran Insight: Trump's "high open, low close" strategy has a history—last year when the tariff stick was waved, the Dow plummeted by 600 points;
Then he quickly announced a pause on tax increases, and the market immediately rebounded by 5%. This script is practically a replica!
But this time there's a new twist: The cryptocurrency sector's 24-hour trading volume broke records, even Dogecoin joined the celebration.
It seems the market has figured out the pattern: the more extreme pressure Trump exerts, the more he ends up delivering good news to stabilize the market. This time, the fear index VIX plummeted by 15%, with shorts collectively getting liquidated.
Expert Reminder: Although there's a short-term celebration, don't celebrate too early. Trump's "Art of the Deal" has always been a cycle of "giving candy - threatening - giving candy again."
However, for the retail investors, this rollercoaster at least provided an important lesson—Trump's tariff stick often hits harder, but also retracts faster!
Crypto Trap Prevention Guide: Why Can't You Withdraw Money Even After Making It? A Step-by-Step Guide to Protect Your Hard-Earned Money
1. Real Case: Top Student Becomes 'Prisoner'
In March 2025, a student from a 985 university in Guangzhou, Xiao Wang, went 'crazy' in the crypto world—earning 18 million by reselling USDT (virtual currency).
Result: On the day of withdrawal, the police burst into the dormitory, confiscating computers and phones, citing 'suspected money laundering'!
Reason: The buyers of Xiao Wang's USDT were 'high premium miners' who used involved funds (like telecom fraud proceeds) for transfers. The bank's risk control system detected abnormal transactions, froze the account, and reported to the police.
Trump has suddenly changed his tune! He admits that the 145% tariffs on China are too high and says they will "drop significantly".
Just when the China-U.S. trade war was heating up, U.S. President Trump made a sudden 180-degree turn. On April 22, he clearly stated at the White House: "The 145% tariffs on Chinese goods are indeed too high now, and they will definitely drop significantly in the future, but they will not drop to zero."
This statement has relieved global markets. On the same day, U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin also said in a closed-door meeting that the China-U.S. trade war "can't go on" and that it is expected to cool down soon. When the news broke, the three major U.S. stock indices surged over 2.5%, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising more than 700 points. (
A few key points:
How exaggerated is the current tariff situation?
Currently, the tariffs imposed by the U.S. on some Chinese goods have reached as high as 245%. For example, the tax on a Chinese-made smartphone entering the U.S. may be more expensive than the phone itself. Trump himself said: "It used to be zero tariffs, but China 'played' us, and now 145% is too high."
Why the change of heart?
American consumers and businesses are struggling to cope: 90% of wedding dresses, 75% of toys, and most car safety seats in the U.S. come from China, and the tariffs have led to skyrocketing prices in the U.S.
The stock market is falling daily: Just after Trump criticized the Federal Reserve, the U.S. stock market experienced a "Black Monday," with all three major indices dropping over 2%.
Allies are not rallying around: Japan and India just concluded talks and found "no progress," while Vietnam is secretly preparing for negotiations to avoid being affected.
How does China respond?
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly stated: "Negotiation is fine, but don't threaten while negotiating!"
The implication is: if you want to negotiate, do it properly; don’t threaten with tariffs while claiming to want an agreement.
What will happen next?
Although Trump said he would reduce tariffs, the China-U.S. negotiations have not formally started yet. Moreover, Trump has kept a backup plan: "Even if an agreement is reached, the U.S. will set the rules!"
Experts analyze that this may just be a smokescreen for the election, and whether a real negotiation will happen depends on future actions.
In simple terms: Trump is now being pressured by economic challenges to soften his stance, but the trade tug-of-war between China and the U.S. is far from over.
It's like two boxers who are both bruised and battered, temporarily stopping to catch their breath, but neither has declared defeat.
