BREAKING: Trump Threatens 'Massive' Tariffs on China
..
BREAKING: Trump Threatens 'Massive' Tariffs on China Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a new warning to China, vowing to impose “massive” tariffs if he returns to the White House. Speaking at a recent rally, Trump accused Beijing of unfair trade practices and stealing American technology. He claimed that tougher tariffs are the only way to protect U.S. manufacturing and jobs from Chinese competition. Trump’s remarks come as tensions between Washington and Beijing continue to escalate over trade, technology, and security concerns. Analysts believe a renewed tariff war could disrupt global supply chains and impact international markets. Some American business groups have already expressed concern that higher import costs could lead to inflation and strain U.S. consumers. Meanwhile, China has not yet responded officially, but state media outlets have criticized Trump’s stance, warning that such threats could “backfire” on the U.S. economy. Global investors are watching closely as markets react to the renewed trade tensions.
Binance CEO Richard Teng has announced that Binance will compensate affected users who lost funds during last night’s extreme volatility, which caused several markets to “depeg. In a public statement, Teng apologized: “I’m truly sorry to everyone who was impacted … We don’t make excuses — we listen closely, learn from what happened, and are committed to doing better.” He clarified that reimbursements will be considered only for losses due to Binance-caused issues, not losses from general market movements or unrealized profits. The tokens affected included USDe (a stablecoin), BNSOL (Binance’s Solana liquid staking token), and WBETH (Wrapped Beacon ETH staking token), each seeing sharp deviations from their expected pegs. This comes amid a broader push by Binance to restore trust and stability following regulatory scrutiny and prior controversies.
The #GoldSilverRebound is catching the attention of investors as precious metals show renewed strength after a period of consolidation. Gold and silver, long considered safe-haven assets, are rebounding amid persistent inflation concerns, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting expectations around interest rates. As central banks signal caution and global markets remain volatile, investors are once again turning to metals to preserve value and hedge risk.
Gold’s rebound reflects its role as a store of wealth during uncertain times, while silver is benefiting from both investment demand and its growing industrial use, particularly in renewable energy and technology. This dual demand gives silver added momentum during economic transitions.
For long-term investors, the current rebound may signal more than a short-term rally. It highlights the continued relevance of gold and silver in a diversified portfolio. While price fluctuations are inevitable, the #GoldSilverRebound reminds us that precious metals often shine brightest when confidence in traditional markets is tested.#GoldenOpportunity #silvertrader
#TrumpProCrypto TrumpProCrypto** is a popular hashtag celebrating **Donald Trump**’s strong pro-cryptocurrency stance during his second presidency (2025–).
Trump branded himself the “crypto president,” promising to make the US the **world’s crypto capital**. Key actions include:
- Signing an executive order (Jan 2025) supporting digital assets, blockchain innovation, and lighter regulation. - Appointing crypto-friendly regulators and pushing for clear rules (e.g., Digital Asset Market Clarity Act). - Ending heavy Biden-era enforcement and dropping several crypto investigations. - Hosting summits with Coinbase, Ripple, Kraken, Tether, and banks to advance stablecoin & market clarity. - Family ventures like **World Liberty Financial** and memecoin **$TRUMP** exploded in value, though sparking conflict-of-interest debates (e.g., UAE-linked $500M stake).
The hashtag surges on X during BTC pumps, policy wins, or market dips — often mixed with memes, bullish calls, and occasional FUD about corruption or volatility. It symbolizes the shift from regulatory hostility to pro-innovation policy in the US crypto space.
#VitalikSells **#VitalikSells** refers to the recurring on-chain activity and social media buzz around **Vitalik Buterin** (Ethereum co-founder) selling ETH or other tokens.
Vitalik frequently sells small-to-medium amounts of ETH and unsolicited meme coins sent to his wallet. Recent examples include:
- Selling 211.84 ETH for ~500,000 USDC (early Feb 2026) - Converting portions to stablecoins like GHO (cumulative ~704 ETH sold for ~$1.65M in GHO batches) - Offloading junk/donation tokens for 9.4 ETH (~$29K) or similar amounts
He has also withdrawn larger sums (e.g., 16,384 ETH ≈ $43–45M in Jan 2026) — but this was explicitly to fund Ethereum development, open-source infrastructure, and ecosystem support during the Ethereum Foundation's "mild austerity" phase, **not** for personal profit.
Most #VitalikSells posts exaggerate for drama or FUD. Vitalik has repeatedly clarified he isn't dumping his core holdings to cash out — sales are usually for practical reasons (donation cleanup, funding protocol work, etc.
"SHOCKING: 😱 PUTIN TELLS IRAN — 'I WILL NOT JOIN YOUR WAR'"** appears to originate from viral social media-style posts, particularly on platforms like Binance Square, where users (e.g., Sofia Hashmi) shared it with dramatic headlines and crypto tags in early February 2026.
No credible mainstream news outlets, Kremlin statements, or official Russian/Iranian sources confirm Putin directly saying these exact words or issuing such a blunt refusal. Recent high-level contacts — such as Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani meeting Putin in Moscow on January 30, 2026 — focused on regional tensions, bilateral economic ties, and de-escalation efforts amid U.S. threats against Iran's nuclear program.
Russia has prioritized mediation (e.g., offering to store Iran's enriched uranium to ease tensions) and condemned potential U.S./Israeli strikes as destabilizing. However, analysts note Moscow shows reluctance to commit troops or direct military involvement in defending Iran, citing its ongoing Ukraine commitments, economic pressures, and war fatigue. Putin appears to avoid entanglement in a new Middle East conflict that could risk broader escalation.
This "quote" likely exaggerates Russia's cautious, non-committal stance into sensational clickbait. Russia-Iran ties remain strategic but pragmatic — not an ironclad mutual defense pact.#RussiaUkraineWar #USCryptoMarketStructureBill
Here’s a short 150-word crypto news blog post about the recent surge in hacks in January 2026 — with relevant images included:
📉 Crypto Sector Hit by 16 Hacks in January 2026 — $86M Lost
January 2026 was a rough start for the cryptocurrency industry, with 16 hacking incidents reported across exchanges and decentralized protocols, resulting in total losses of about $86.01 million, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield.
While this figure is slightly down 1.4 % from January 2025, it represents a 13.3 % increase compared to December 2025, indicating a renewed uptick in cybercrime targeting digital assets. Phishing attacks remain a key challenge, with related losses now exceeding $300 million overall.
Notable victims included platforms like Step Finance (~$28.9 M) and Truebit Protocol (~$26.4 M), among others. These breaches highlight ongoing security weaknesses in crypto infrastructure and reinforce the importance of stronger safeguards and awareness across the sector.
World Liberty Financial Faces Significant Price Drop Amid Tariff Threats.....
World Liberty Financial Faces Significant Price Drop Amid Tariff Threats World Liberty Financial's governance token WLFI has experienced a sharp decline, dropping approximately 30% in recent days amid escalating U.S. tariff threats from President Donald Trump. The sell-off intensified following Trump's aggressive statements targeting Canada, including threats of up to 50% tariffs on aircraft and even 100% on all goods if Canada pursues trade deals with China. This risk-off sentiment triggered panic selling, with 380 million WLFI tokens exiting major wallets and the price falling to around $0.12 (down over 16% in 24 hours and nearly 30% over the past week). WLFI, the Trump family-linked DeFi project, underperformed the broader crypto market significantly. Analysts note the token broke key technical support levels, raising short-term downside risks as trade tensions fuel volatility.
**Bhutan's Sovereign Wealth Fund Transfers Bitcoin Before Market Decline**
Bhutan's sovereign wealth fund, managed by **Druk Holding and Investments**, transferred approximately **100.82 BTC** (worth about $8.31 million) to the institutional trading firm **QCP Capital**. This move occurred just two days before a noticeable downturn in the cryptocurrency market, according to on-chain monitoring by platforms like Arkham and OnchainLenz.
The transfer has drawn attention as a potentially strategic decision, allowing the Himalayan nation—known for mining Bitcoin with surplus hydropower—to reposition assets amid volatility. Bhutan remains one of the top government Bitcoin holders, actively managing its reserves rather than purely holding long-term. #bitcoin #BTC☀
#MarketCorrection **#MarketCorrection: Global Risk Assets Slide as Fed Uncertainty Mounts (February 1, 2026)**
Global financial markets entered a sharp correction phase on February 1, 2026, driven by renewed fears over U.S. monetary policy direction following President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair.
Major equity indices retreated significantly: the S&P 500 fell ~3.8%, Nasdaq Composite dropped over 4.6%, while small-cap Russell 2000 shed nearly 5.5%. Tech-heavy names and growth stocks led the decline, with several mega-cap names posting 6–9% single-day losses.
The move mirrored weakness in crypto (Bitcoin -5%, Ethereum -7%) and precious metals (gold -7–9%, silver -16%+ intraday), signaling broad risk-off behavior. The US Dollar Index surged more than 1.8%, putting pressure on all non-dollar assets.
10-year Treasury yields climbed sharply as traders priced in a more hawkish Fed under Warsh — fewer rate cuts in 2026, potentially higher-for-longer real rates, and faster balance-sheet runoff.
Volatility spiked: VIX jumped above 28, reflecting rising fear. Margin calls, ETF outflows, and forced de-risking across hedge funds and retail portfolios accelerated the sell-off.
While some view this as a healthy unwinding of late-2025 exuberance, others warn of deeper correction if support levels fail. Key levels to watch: S&P 500 ~5,650–5,700, Nasdaq ~19,200, Bitcoin ~$78,000. #Ethereum #bitcoin.” )
Precious metals markets are in turmoil on February 1, 2026, following one of the most dramatic sell-offs in recent history. Gold and silver, which had surged to record highs in late January—gold above $5,500/oz and silver nearing $120–$121/oz—crashed sharply after President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair.
Warsh's hawkish reputation, favoring tighter policy and a stronger dollar, triggered a rapid reversal. The US dollar index strengthened, making dollar-denominated metals costlier for global buyers. Spot gold plunged as much as 7–9%, dropping below $5,000/oz in intraday trading before stabilizing around $4,900–$5,000. Silver suffered even worse, with losses exceeding 16–30% in single sessions, falling toward $96–$100/oz from recent peaks.
Platinum and palladium also tumbled over 10%, amplifying the broader precious metals rout. On MCX (India), gold and silver futures hit lower circuits multiple times, with silver wiping out over 33% in two days amid forced liquidations and profit-taking.
The violent swings highlight speculative froth after months of parabolic rallies fueled by central bank buying, geopolitical risks, and inflation fears. While fundamentals remain supportive long-term, short-term turbulence persists as markets digest Fed leadership uncertainty and await the Union Budget for duty cut clues.
**Markets Eye Fed Nominee Dynamics as Crypto Weakens: Bitcoin Down 5% and Most Large-Caps Trade Lower (February 1, 2026)**
On February 1, 2026, the cryptocurrency market faced renewed pressure, with Bitcoin (BTC) declining approximately 5% amid broader risk-off sentiment. BTC traded in the $78,000–$79,000 range during the day, reflecting a pullback from recent levels around $84,000–$85,000, as investors digested uncertainties tied to U.S. Federal Reserve leadership.
The key driver was President Trump's nomination of former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair to succeed Jerome Powell. Warsh, known for advocating tighter monetary policy, higher real interest rates, and a smaller Fed balance sheet, sparked concerns over reduced liquidity and fewer rate cuts—factors that typically weigh on risk assets like crypto. While Warsh has viewed Bitcoin positively as a "policeman" for monetary discipline rather than a dollar competitor, markets interpreted his hawkish leanings as bearish for speculative investments.
This contributed to widespread weakness across large-cap cryptocurrencies, with altcoins like Ethereum and Solana also posting notable losses. The global crypto market cap fell around 5%, hovering near $2.66 trillion. Institutional outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, ongoing since late 2025, added to the downside pressure.
Traders remain cautious, watching for confirmation of support levels near $78,000 or further slides toward $75,000–$80,000 if Fed-related uncertainty persists.#FedMeeting #ETFEthereum

Gold prices recently dropped sharply (by over 10-12% in a single day, the worst since the 1980s), falling below $5,000 per ounce from recent highs above $5,500. As of late January 31, 2026, spot gold trades around $4,890–$4,905 USD per ounce. The main trigger was President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair. Warsh is viewed as a more independent, hawkish choice (less likely to bow to pressure for deep rate cuts or dollar weakening), easing fears of Fed independence loss, inflation spikes, and currency debasement. This strengthened the US dollar, making gold costlier for foreign buyers and reducing safe-haven demand. Investors also booked profits after the parabolic rally driven by geopolitical tensions, tariffs, and earlier uncertainty. It was a sharp correction with heavy selling, but gold remains far higher year-over-year due to ongoing global risks.
Bitcoin Faces Pressure as Long-Term Holders Sell at Fastest Rate Since August Bitcoin is coming under renewed selling pressure as long-term holders offload their assets at the fastest pace seen since August. This shift marks a notable change in behavior from investors who typically hold through market cycles, often viewed as a sign of confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. Their recent selling activity has raised concerns about short-term price stability. Market analysts suggest that profit-taking after recent price movements, combined with macroeconomic uncertainty and liquidity concerns, may be driving this trend. When long-term holders begin to sell aggressively, it often increases supply in the market, adding downward pressure on prices and influencing overall sentiment. Despite this development, Bitcoin’s broader fundamentals remain intact, including growing institutional interest and network strength. However, traders and investors are closely watching on-chain data and key support levels, as continued selling from long-term holders could lead to heightened volatility in the near term.
Binance Coin (BNB) has experienced a notable downturn, slipping below the 780 USDT level after recording an 8.30% decline within the past 24 hours. This sudden drop has caught the attention of traders and investors, signaling increased volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market. The decline in BNB’s price appears to be influenced by overall market uncertainty, profit-taking by short-term traders, and reduced buying momentum. As one of the leading exchange tokens, BNB often reflects both market sentiment and activity on the Binance ecosystem. When confidence weakens, price corrections like this can occur rapidly. Despite the short-term drop, many long-term holders continue to view BNB as a fundamentally strong asset due to its utility in trading fee discounts, DeFi applications, and blockchain development on BNB Chain. However, traders are advised to monitor key support levels and market indicators closely, as further volatility may follow in the near term.
Gold Has Gone Crazy — and Investors Are Loving It......
Gold is on an absolute tear. Surging an eye-watering 64% in just one year, the precious metal has delivered its most explosive performance in 46 years. This isn’t just a rally — it’s a statement. In a world shaken by inflation fears, geopolitical tension, volatile stock markets, and shaky currencies, gold has reclaimed its crown as the ultimate safe-haven asset. Central banks are buying aggressively, investors are hedging against uncertainty, and confidence in traditional financial systems continues to wobble. Add falling interest-rate expectations and a weakening dollar to the mix, and gold suddenly looks unstoppable. What makes this run truly historic is its speed and scale. Gold usually moves slowly, steadily. This time, it’s sprinting. Whether you’re a long-term investor or a short-term trader, ignoring gold right now feels risky.
One thing is clear: gold isn’t just shining — it’s dominating. And this golden momentum might be far from over.
