A – Research commentaries from last week developments

1. Markets reacted to Trump tariffs – Bitcoin stands

Global markets fell sharply after President Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Chinese imports. Stocks led the decline – the Nasdaq 100 is now down -14% since the election, and the S&P 500 -12.3%. Crypto reacted too, but not uniformly:

• Altcoins such as SOL and ETH were hit hardest (down over 30% since November)

• Bitcoin and the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) showed resilience, gaining +14.3% and +9.3%, respectively since Election

This kind of selloff tends to erase diversification — everything moves together. But it’s essential to take a longer view:

• Since Trump’s election, only three assets have consistently outperformed: Bitcoin, NCI, and gold.

• Last week, only gold outpaced BTC, confirming the role of digital assets as a strategic long-term allocation — even in volatile regimes.

2. Regulatory tailwinds are building

The next phase of crypto decoupling could come from policy. In the US, the signals are turning positive:

• The STABLE Act advanced in Congress, with Trump urging swift approval

• A tokenized fund paid $4.17M in dividends last month, proving blockchain’s real-world income potential

• The SEC has launched a review of past crypto guidance — a move toward clearer rules and broader institutional comfort

Bottom line: In a week where most assets fell, crypto stood out. That’s not a coincidence — it’s a signal.
