From political influences shaking the market to advancements in no-code NFT launchpads, the industry continues to evolve at a breakneck pace. Here’s what VCs and projects need to know:
Bitcoin Volatility Amid Trump’s Policy Uncertainty
Bitcoin’s price reached $105,000 this week, showing a slight recovery after hitting an all-time high of $108,500 on Monday. However, uncertainty over President Trump’s cryptocurrency policies kept the market on edge.
Market Stats: BTC rose 0.4% in 24 hours, ETH dropped 1.3% to $3,225, and Solana (SOL) dipped 3% to $248. The total crypto market cap fell by 1.5% to $3.73 trillion.
Political Influence: Speculation around Senator Cynthia Lummis’ appointment as chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee stirred excitement about a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve. BTC saw a brief surge before correcting to $103,000 post-announcement.
Expert Insight: James Toledano, COO at Unity Wallet, noted that crypto price movements remain multifaceted, with Trump’s actions being just one of many influencing factors.
Institutional Interest Soars
BlackRock’s Larry Fink: At the World Economic Forum, Fink suggested Bitcoin could hit $700,000 under specific conditions, underscoring institutional optimism around digital assets.
World Liberty Financial: Celebrating Trump’s inauguration, WLFI purchased $113 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) and Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), signaling confidence in crypto’s long-term value.
Regulatory Developments
SEC’s Crypto Task Force: Spearheaded by Commissioner Hester Peirce, the newly formed task force will collaborate with federal agencies to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets.
Technological Innovation
Magic Eden’s No-Code NFT Launchpad: The multi-chain marketplace unveiled a zero-fee, codeless launchpad, empowering creators to launch NFTs without technical expertise.
