Europe is preparing for another round of U.S. trade negotiations, with tariffs looming like the sword of Damocles. Everything is chopping, including BTC USD.
While diplomats talk shop,
This week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen extended an olive branch, declaring the EU prepared for a trade pact with the United States. “All options remain on the table,” she said in a NATO meeting in the Hague.
The stakes are monumental, with President Trump threatening toslap 50% tariffs on EU goods, a move that could cripple industries like automotive and steel. Germany, already bearing the brunt of existing tariffs up to 25%, feels the pressure acutely.
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever distilled the sentiment, urging, “We must avoid tariffs at all costs.”

The European car industry is particularly vulnerable, with EU trade negotiator Maroš Šefčovič warning, “The car industry of Europe is clearly bleeding. Tariffs at this level are unsustainable.”
While the bloc considers retaliatory measures worth $95 billion should talks fail, von der Leyen proposed a broader vision of “redesigning” global trade rules, aiming for more balanced rules.
Behind the noise of trade talks, Bitcoin is quietly shifting hands. Wallets holding 1,000+ BTC have added 507,700 BTC over the past year, nearly 1,460 per day, according to CryptoQuant.
With daily issuance now ~450 BTC post-halving, institutions are absorbing more than retail is shedding, setting the stage for a supply squeeze.
Moreover, after brief turbulence from U.S.-Iran tensions, BTC bounced back to $107K. “This isn’t just crypto,” said analyst James Toledano. “It’s the weak dollar, falling oil, and rate cut bets driving the rebound.”
The EU’s struggle with trade barriers exposes deep vulnerabilities within its core industries, but Bitcoin’s steady performance in turbulent times tells a different story.
This widening gap between faltering old-world systems and ascendant digital alternatives speaks volumes about where the meta is trending.
