😱 FEAR & GREED INDEX
Global markets experienced a rollercoaster this week. The US Stock Market lost over $6 trillion amid President Trump’s inconsistent tariff policies. Meanwhile, the crypto market felt an impact, too, but Bitcoin and a few other tokens are showing strong resilience.
LATEST GAINERS 📈
LATEST LOSERS 📈
This Week’s Big Movers: Dumps, Pumps & Meme Chaos
🩸 EOS (EOS): Down 25% as market-wide sell-offs and tariff jitters slam sentiment. Tough week for the old guard.
💨 Fartcoin (FART): Up 100%+—yes, again. Meme coin mania on Solana keeps pushing FART higher. Smells like degen spirit.
🔻 Ethereum (ETH): Dropped 12% after $39M worth of ETF outflows (that’s ~23,250 ETH). Bears are still circling.
🚀 Onyxcoin (XCN): Up 136% and cracked the top 100, thanks to its Goliath Mainnet launch. Sleeper play, no more.
MARKET OVERVIEW
This week was a macro minefield 💣. U.S. markets bled out early, shedding $6.6 trillion before staging a mild rebound after Trump hit pause (ish) on his tariff barrage. But the drama didn’t stop there: China fired back with a 125% tariff on U.S. imports, escalating fears of a full-scale trade war.
The Fear & Greed Index dipped to 25 (extreme fear territory) but crypto barely blinked. While TradFi panicked, Bitcoin played it cool. 😎
🪙 Bitcoin held the line above $82K, with small bounces in altcoins like SOL (+3.07%) and ADA (+0.94%). Ethereum still limps at $1.5K, and ETH bears aren’t done yet.
💣 Meanwhile, crypto regulation made quiet moves: The FDIC greenlit crypto for banks (no pre-approval needed anymore), and the CFTC + SEC eased back enforcement. It’s not a full-on policy pivot… but for DeFi? It’s breathing room.
💬 TL;DR: Trad markets freaked, crypto held steady, and regulators softened their tone. We’re not out of the woods — but for crypto? That might be bullish.
👉 What to Watch:
📌 Bitcoin’s Boring Strength:
BTC hasn’t moved much despite macro chaos. Is it gearing up for a breakout—or just catching its breath before another leg down?
📌 Solana’s Quiet Flex:
SOL is one of the few majors posting green this week. With institutional buzz, growing NFT traction, and low fees, is Solana about to make another run?
📌 Trump Nixes IRS DeFi Rule:
President Trump just signed a resolution canceling the IRS rule that would have forced DeFi platforms to report user data like brokers. This is a huge win for on-chain privacy and decentralized projects. Expect a short-term DeFi rally.
📌 Japan’s FSA Redraws the Crypto Map:
Japan dropped a two-tiered framework for digital assets: one for crypto used as payments, another for investment tokens. Clearer rules = investor confidence + potential capital inflow to compliant chains.
