Trump’s Liberation Day: The impact of tariffs on the crypto market

Crypto trades around the clock and often responds quickly to market uncertainty. Bitcoin usually drops first during the market turbulence because it’s risky and easy to trade, just like tech stocks. Here’s how Trump’s tariffs are playing into that.

Stablecoins: The real powerhouse of crypto

Stablecoins are digital currencies tied to assets like the U.S. dollar, making them stable in price and easy to send worldwide instantly. They drive the crypto economy, moving billions, powering financial applications, and reshaping payments. From remittances to billion-dollar treasuries, explore how leading stablecoins like USDT and USDC are making it happen.

Why the memecoin mania isn’t a joke

A memecoin is a cryptocurrency inspired by internet memes or viral trends. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies focused on utility (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), memecoins thrive on community engagement, humor, and speculative momentum. With low barriers to entry, they’re easy to create and trade, making them a go-to starting point for crypto newcomers.
