On May 19, 2025, Bitcoin once again attracted the attention of investors, surpassing the $107,000 mark for the first time since January. This growth is accompanied by a 2% increase in the network's hash rate and a rise in the average transaction fee to $2.40 — the highest value in 2025.

Analysts note that unstable liquidity and volatility could lead to new record highs. An additional growth factor was the acquisition by Strategy of 7390 BTC for $765 million.

Against this backdrop, Bitcoin demonstrates steady growth, which may indicate the continuation of a bullish trend in the near future.

Scandal: Binance, Trump and $2 billion in cryptocurrency

On May 15, 2025, three leading Democratic senators — Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, and Richard Blumenthal — demanded explanations from the Trump administration regarding a potential conflict of interest related to Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ).

The essence of the scandal: CZ, previously convicted in the U.S. for violating anti-money laundering laws, filed a petition for presidential pardon. At the same time, World Liberty Financial, linked to the Trump family, received $2 billion in investments from a fund in the UAE through the stable cryptocurrency USD1. These funds were directed towards investments in Binance, raising suspicions about a possible connection between CZ's pardon and the financial interests of the Trump family.

The senators expressed concern about the transparency and legality of these actions, especially considering the potential impact on cryptocurrency legislation.

This situation could have serious consequences for Binance's reputation and cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S.

I’m new to trading and just starting my journey on Binance. So far, I haven’t made any trades yet, but I’ve been learning and observing how the market moves. I’m currently watching coins like $BTC, $ETH, and $NOT. My plan is to begin with small amounts and focus on understanding how orders, stop-losses, and charts work. I’ve been exploring the trading interface, reading about risk management, and studying basic strategies. I believe that starting slow is better than rushing in. I want to build good habits from the beginning and make my first trade only when I feel confident enough.

#BinancePizza
Crypto history is full of fascinating stories, but none as iconic as the tale of Bitcoin Pizza Day. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas — a decision that would become a legendary milestone in crypto culture. Today, that amount is worth millions, yet it symbolizes how far we’ve come. Binance celebrates this day to remind us of the early adopters’ vision and the evolution of digital money. To me, it’s not about the missed profit, but about being part of a revolution. What would you buy today with your crypto, and why?

Just activated my crypto portfolio and I’m excited to start this journey into the world of digital assets. At the moment, my balance is zero, but every investor starts somewhere. I plan to slowly build up my portfolio by studying the market and adding carefully chosen coins. Sharing this step publicly helps me stay motivated and consistent. Crypto can be risky, but also full of potential. I believe that with time and knowledge, anyone can make smart moves in this space. Let’s see how this journey goes. Have you already started your own portfolio?

Regulation of cryptocurrencies is becoming one of the main topics in the world of finance. Every year, more countries are developing laws aimed at controlling digital assets. On one hand, this can protect investors from fraudsters, while on the other hand, it may restrict the freedom of decentralized projects. Regulations can lead to greater market stability, but also reduce the anonymity and accessibility of cryptocurrencies. The question is about balance: how to preserve innovation while simultaneously protecting users? This issue is especially acute in the USA and the EU, where strict measures are being proposed. What do you think, is strict regulation needed for crypto, or should it remain free?

#TrumpTariffs
Recently, there has been renewed discussion about Trump's tariffs, and this has sparked a lot of debate. The essence is that upon his return to power, the US may impose high import duties — up to 10% on all goods and up to 60% on Chinese goods. This will significantly impact global trade, especially for countries with export-oriented economies. Investors are already pricing in risks into asset values, and the cryptocurrency market may benefit amid instability. People will be looking for alternatives to fiat money and traditional markets. Perhaps Bitcoin will once again become a 'safe haven asset.' What is your opinion — will crypto save us from trade wars?
