Global financial markets are still shaken by Trump’s trade plan, which has caused stocks and Bitcoin (BTC) to revalue.
Over the past few weeks, there has been significant volatility in both Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. This occurred as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs were devastatingly affecting merchants and investors.
Bitcoin and equities may be on the cusp of a major revaluation
Bitcoin has unintentionally been positioned as a possible benefactor of the latest spike in Trump tariffs. The 2025 increase in US tariffs is highlighted by venture capital company MV Global, which points to levels last observed in the 1930s. Globally, this has resulted in stock losses of almost $10 trillion.

Analysts predict a significant market revaluation, with Bitcoin at its core, as liquidity gradually recovers.
This prediction follows a recent upward shift in MV Global’s Global Economy Index. This frequently comes before more widespread asset reflation. Notably, the indicator monitors monetary circumstances as well as cross-border capital movements.

Bitcoin’s average April return of over 34.4% is supported by the fact that its performance is already surpassing that of traditional markets. This seasonal trend is driven by capital flight and macroeconomic instability.
Analysts contend that the current state of the market is similar to past times when investors sought for decentralized alternatives to dollar-centric systems.
Braiins Mining Ecosystem’s chief of product strategy, Tomas Greif, concurs. He observes that the volatility of Bitcoin is more in line with that of the main equities indices.
Despite the extreme economic turmoil from Trump’s tariffs, bitcoin’s volatility is now similar to that of the major equity indexes.

This new macroenvironment might hasten Bitcoin’s shift from a speculative asset to a useful monetary hedge, according to Mathew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck.
“Bitcoin is evolving from a speculative asset into a functional monetary tool—particularly in economies looking to bypass the dollar and reduce exposure to US-led financial systems,” Sigel wrote.
Sigel’s observation highlights a larger pattern: as trade and geopolitical tensions increase, Bitcoin is being seen as a strategic asset more and more. This is in line with a recent article in US Crypto News that described how Bitcoin is increasingly positioning itself as a hedge against US Treasury risks and traditional finance (TradFi).
Bitcoin may become more popular as a substitute reserve or settlement asset. As more economies turn away from the conventional US monetary power, this confidence is growing. Russia is reportedly thinking of using a ruble-pegged stablecoin to compete with USDollardominance.
Bitcoin’s tenacity may revolutionize how investors protect themselves from geopolitical instability as equities markets tremble and liquidity fluctuates.
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF posts second-largest inflow since January launch
As larger Bitcoin ETFs had mixed flows, indicating selective investor appetite, IBIT’s gains stood out.
Monday saw inflows of about $1 billion into BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), the second-largest single-day intake since the fund’s launch earlier this year.
IBIT brought in $970.93 million, according to SoSoValue statistics, demonstrating institutional investors’ increased interest in cryptocurrency assets.
The spike coincides with a more general rebound in Bitcoin markets. Due to indications that the asset is resilient in spite of stock market volatility, investors have been gradually going back to Bitcoin-related items.
Supporters of cryptocurrencies have rekindled debates over Bitcoin’s potential as a safe-haven asset by pointing out its greater stability when compared to US equities during difficult economic times.
Nearly *$1bil* into iShares Bitcoin ETF today…
2nd largest inflow since Jan 2024 inception.
I still remember when there was “no demand”.

On January 11, a slew of spot Bitcoin ETFs were introduced, including the IBIT fund. The industry underwent a sea change on that day, allowing conventional investors to directly participate in Bitcoin using regulated market vehicles. Alongside Grayscale’s long-running Bitcoin Trust, which changed to an ETF form on the same day, nine other funds made their debut.
Strong BlackRock IBIT inflows contrast with outflows from rival funds
According to Unity Wallet’s chief operating officer James Toledano, there are several reasons behind the present surge. He pointed out that market sentiment has improved as a result of President Donald Trump’s recent quiet on cryptocurrency issues. “Historically, his comments have coincided with price drops, though correlation is not causation,” he stated.
Along with the significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs that show rekindled institutional backing, Toledano highlighted that investor confidence has increased as a result of the Federal Reserve and tariff rhetoric being softer.
The overall Bitcoin ETF market displayed erratic momentum despite IBIT’s impressive success, indicating that investor demand is still selective.
The majority of Monday’s inflows ($970 million) went into BlackRock’s IBIT. In comparison, Grayscale’s GBTC had net outflows of $42.66 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded withdrawals of $86.8 million.
Despite IBIT’s gains, broader Bitcoin ETF market shows strain
At $226.3 million, Ark Invest’s ARKB fund saw the biggest one-day withdrawal of any major ETF. The overall Bitcoin ETF market displayed erratic momentum despite IBIT’s impressive success, indicating that investor demand is still selective.
The increasing demand demonstrates how Bitcoin’s reputation as a hedge against macroeconomic volatility is once again gaining momentum. Both gold and Bitcoin have profited from a shift toward alternate sources of value as global markets look for guidance and US stocks are under pressure.
Cardano price eyes rally to $1 as Golden Cross pattern forms
The price of Cardano rises above $0.70 and forms a Golden Cross. Amidst concerns about ETFs, whales are building up, and ADA anticipates a breakthrough toward $0.88.
The recent strong recovery indicators displayed by Cardano (ADA) have given traders fresh optimism for a surge towards the $1 level. The price is presently confronting significant resistance levels that might determine the next move, and it has risen above $0.70 for the first time since March.
Cardano price strong recovery hints at rally
The price of Cardano is nearing a significant challenge around $0.74, according to cryptocurrency researcher Ali Charts. The price of ADA may climb toward $0.88 if there is a breakout over this level. Cardano has risen more than 12% in the last seven days, indicating heightened investor interest.
Over the last day, trading volume has increased by 33% to $723 million. This increased activity indicates that as Cardano looks to break through resistance hurdles between $0.7150 and $0.7200, buyers are getting more aggressive. The price of Cardano may go back below $0.6800 if it is unable to rise above these levels.
At the moment, the price of ADA is trading at around $0.7088, representing a 2.04% daily increase. It is still rising from the most recent low of $0.6500. However, as the price of ADA approaches important resistance levels, several technical indications imply that the rising impetus may be waning.
Whale activity and ETF speculation
Whales, or large Cardano holders, have been boosting their ADA holdings. According to Santiment data, 35.5% of the whole supply is now held by wallets with between 10 million and 100 million ADA. This number has increased from 33% in January, suggesting that the recent disclosure of support for the Ripple token XRP has contributed to the buildup.
Additionally, 15.83% of the supply is now made up of wallets holding 1–10 million ADA. Whale piling is seen favorably by analysts as it frequently indicates that big investors anticipate future profits.
Additionally, there is growing conjecture regarding a possible spot ADA ETF. Expectations for ETF approvals have risen after Paul Atkins was named the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) new head. Additionally, according to Polymarket statistics, the likelihood of an ADA ETF getting authorized this year increased to 51%.
Golden Cross formation and bullish momentum
A Golden Cross has shown on the 4-hour chart in accordance with recent technical analysis, bolstering the positive outlook for the Cardano (ADA) price. Following this crossover, the price saw a significant increase until rising over the 50-period SMA, which has subsequently turned into a support. Higher highs and higher lows in the price action indicated yet another encouraging trend.
With a current value of 55.33, the Money Flow Index (MFI) is more neutral to slightly optimistic. If the undertone stays favorable, there is a chance that ADA prices will rise because the MFI is neither overstretched towards the buy signal nor oversold.
The price of Cardano is now within the declining channel that was created in the first half of 2025 over a broader horizon. The price is now heading toward the channel’s middle and upper edges after reversing from the bottom.
According to Ali Charts, an upward breakout over the upper Bollinger Band between $0.77 and $0.78 would pave the door for more higher rises that might go to $0.88. As a result, the price of Cardano will support the positive signal that the Golden Cross pattern previously revealed if it clears this area.
The charts show resistance between $0.70 and $0.72 and further support at the channel’s lower boundary between $0.55 and $0.57. Before trying another breakthrough, Cardano can go back to the lower support level if the resistance levels hold.
ADA Futures OI, on the other hand, increased by about 1.5% intraday to $796.15 million. As of the time of writing, the coin’s derivatives volume has increased by 22.5% to $1.56 billion.
