Market Reaction to U.S. Crypto Reserve Proposal: President Donald Trump's announcement of establishing a national strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano, initially boosted market optimism. However, this was followed by skepticism regarding the policy's implementation and its potential impact on the market, leading to price corrections. Bitcoin, for instance, surged by 20% on Sunday but then dropped nearly 9% on Monday, reaching around $86,000.
Renewed Tariff Threats and Economic Uncertainty: The proposal of 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada by President Trump has sparked investor fear, contributing to a significant market sell-off. Bitcoin fell below $80,000, marking a 28% drop since its January high, while Ethereum also saw declines. Over $1 trillion in market value has been wiped out since peaking in December.
Major Security Breach: A significant security breach occurred involving the theft of $1.5 billion in cryptocurrencies from the exchange Bybit. The FBI confirmed that North Korea's Lazarus Group was behind the cyberattack. This event led to a sharp decline in Bitcoin's value to $60,000 and Ethereum's value to $2,000, raising concerns about the security of digital assets.
Record ETF Outflows: Bitcoin ETFs experienced their largest outflows since their launch, with $3.3 billion withdrawn. Institutional investors played a pivotal role in the selloff, often selling Bitcoin to rebalance their portfolios or lock in profits. This contributed to Bitcoin's 17.2% decline in February, marking its worst monthly performance since June 2022.
Emergence of DeepSeek: The rise of DeepSeek, an AI-driven platform, has impacted both tech stocks and the cryptocurrency market. Its advanced data analysis capabilities have attracted investors, leading to a shift in capital from traditional cryptocurrencies to AI-related projects
