Financial markets have experienced sharp volatility this week as a result of several key developments:



President Trump's announcement of the creation of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin: In an unprecedented move, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. This reserve aims to strengthen the position of the United States in the cryptocurrency market. This reserve of cryptocurrencies confiscated by the government will be financed in criminal or civil cases, without incurring any additional costs to taxpayers.

The reaction of the cryptocurrency market: After the announcement, Bitcoin experienced a short-term rise to $94,000 on March 2, 2025. However, the currency fell 6% in 24 hours to $87,000. Other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Cardano (ADA) fell between 8% and 11%.

New tariffs: President Trump announced tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China to protect U.S. industries. The move raised concerns about rising costs of imported goods and rising inflation, leading to a decline in traditional financial markets and the cryptocurrency market.

Impact on ETFs (ETFs): Crypto ETFs have seen cash outflows exceeding $3.5 billion, reflecting uncertainty among investors. Cryptocurrency-linked stock prices, such as Nvidia, fell more than 6% during the day.

First White House Crypto Summit: The White House is scheduled to host the first crypto summit on March 7, 2025, led by President Trump. The summit aims to discuss clear regulatory policies for the cryptocurrency industry, expand stablecoin supervision, and oppose the creation of a digital currency for the US central bank.

In conclusion, financial markets react sharply to new policies related to tariffs and Bitcoin's strategic reserve plans.
