Donald Trump is adamant about imposing tariffs on nations. His strict tariff stance has severely impacted the US economy, adding pressure on nations, which in turn has negatively affected the US dollar.

The turmoil gripping the cryptocurrency market in 2025 has left many uncertain about where the many coins and tokens might go, and Finbold elected to ask artificial intelligence (AI) to predict XRP’s price this Easter. Indeed, the two strongly opposed factors affecting XRP price performance in 2025 – the increasingly permissive regulatory environment and the exhaustion of the digital asset bull cycle amidst broad economic uncertainty – are made abundantly clear by the token’s market fluctuations this year. Specifically, XRP has been volatile, reaching highs well above $3 and lows close to $1.75, but is, through the turmoil, a mere 0.21% down year-to-date (YTD) at its press time price of $2.08.

Coinbase-sponsored second layer blockchain Base caused a stir on Wednesday when, despite repeatedly claiming that it had no intention of launching a token, it launched a token. Confusingly, however, depending on who you listen to, it either didn’t launch a token at all, or it has launched something called a “content coin.” BASEISFOREVERYONE was announced by Base via an X post and was billed as being for “coiners, collectors, traders, builders, creators, artists, writers, musicians, visionaries, sports fans, podcasters, travelers, DeFi users, students, and so much more.” Unfortunately, the memecoin crashed 88% within hours. What’s peculiar, however, is that Coinbase itself is adamant that it didn’t actually launch a token or memecoin. This, it says, is due to the token launching on Zora. Zora is a copy of Instagram that utilises Base’s layer 2 chain to tokenize every post users make, meaning they can subsequently be traded and sold .  A Coinbase spok...

China has begun importing record amounts of Canadian crude oil while slashing purchases of US oil by roughly 90% amid a growing trade war. A pipeline expansion in Western Canada has presented China and other East Asian oil importers with expanded access to the vast crude reserves in Alberta’s oilsands region. The deal resumes China’s oil imports while allowing the country to avoid making a new oil deal with the USA.

A closely followed crypto analyst believes one meme token operating on Solana (SOL) is in the early stages of a market recovery. Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 243,800 followers on the social media platform X that he’s bullish on the memecoin Bonk (BONK). The trader shares a chart suggesting that BONK will face resistance at the $0.000012 level before printing a bullish higher low setup and rallying to his target above $0.0000145. “BONK is looking strong in the short term, and should go higher. Should be a pullback around the 200 EMA (exponential moving average) on the four-hour chart but still, I think this has pulled back enough to where any buying down here is probably reasonable.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X At time of writing, BONK is worth $0.00001376. Turning to the low-cap altcoin Alchemist AI (ALCH), the analyst says the coin appears to be in an uptrend and that he’s waiting for potential dips to accumulate the asset...

President Donald Trump has changed the course of the markets by levying heavy tariffs on nations, which is now compelling the nations to de-dollarize. By de-dollarizing or exploring de-dollarization, nations like China have already issued commands to reduce US purchases, ushering in reduced dollar dependency narratives. This instance is not new, as the world is now increasingly pivoting to a new financial order where local currencies lead the way, all while trying to jeopardize the dollar’s reserve asset stance.

Donald Trump and his regime are quite particular about levying tariffs on nations. The president’s aggressive tariff policies have taken the world markets by surprise, pressuring nations to comply with the US at all costs. This has, in turn, sparked trade war narratives, with nations imposing counter-tariffs on the US, giving more fuel to conflicting economic development. This narrative is bound to hinder the economic status of nations and may propel investors to change course to protect themselves and their assets from further harm. Here’s a list of three pieces of advice, or pearls of wisdom, as one should always have in times of such dramatic economic distress.
