The US trade deficit reached 88.6 billion dollars in July, a high since March 2025. Indeed, the gap evolved by 24.4% in thirty days despite the tariffs established by Donald Trump. This increase comes both from a rebound in imports and a decline in exports. Moreover, investments in artificial intelligence justify a significant part of the movement, as American companies acquired more computers, computer accessories, and semiconductors abroad.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has sanctioned Gabriel Perez, former teleprompter operator at the White House. He will have to pay 172,539.02 dollars after using non-public information to trade on the predictive markets platform Kalshi, notably on contracts related to Donald Trump's interventions.

Disagreements between the United States and Iran suddenly take on a new dimension. Washington has launched its "economic D-Day" against Tehran, with a massive strengthening of secondary sanctions on international financial flows. This campaign by the U.S. administration now threatens liquidity circuits. Moreover, it puts pressure on actors using alternative transfer systems. Between sanctions, compliance constraints, and risks of financial disruptions, the crypto universe is directly exposed.

Donald Trump's memecoin has just gained more than 80% in a few hours. TRUMP crossed the $3 mark before settling around $2.94. The move caught short sellers off guard: over $30 million worth of positions were liquidated within 24 hours. A rumor about a new crypto project from the Trump family was enough to start the momentum.

Trade talks between the United States and Canada suddenly failed this Friday, August 21. This failure has reignited tensions between the two North American countries. Given the entry into force of punitive tariffs and the announced Canadian retaliations, this conflict could therefore have repercussions on global liquidity, increase market uncertainty, and even affect risky assets. The crypto market and bitcoin would then be at the forefront of a new macroeconomic shock.

Eric Trump has just signed a written commitment to stay away from the management of the future deposit bank of World Liberty Financial. A goodwill gesture towards regulators. Except that the project is dragging a Justin Sun lawsuit still ongoing, and a loan that strongly recalls the worst hours of FTX.

Donald Trump pressures the American Senate. This Wednesday, the president gathered several major figures from the crypto industry at the White House to try to unblock the CLARITY Act. The text, stuck in Congress, now crystallizes a confrontation that goes beyond the mere regulation of cryptos. Washington is also playing its ability to maintain its technological lead over China, against a backdrop of political tensions and disagreements over the sector's framework.

Donald Trump gives Canada a three-day reprieve. The 50% tariffs that were supposed to take effect on August 19 are suspended while Washington and Ottawa finalize a trade agreement. Trump says the essential points are settled. Mark Carney talks rather about significant progress with still work to do. For markets, including crypto, a new deadline has simply replaced the old one.

The bitcoin market regains some momentum as tensions between Washington and Tehran dominate trading. BTC/USD surpassed 64,000 dollars, with a daily gain of more than 2%. Meanwhile, US stocks fell and gold accelerated, strengthening the divergence between major markets. This development comes as investors also watch derivatives, where funding rates signal a forceful long positioning in the markets.

The American crypto industry is now invited to the heart of power. Donald Trump is set to convene key figures from this ecosystem, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence at the White House. This meeting highlights the growing attention Washington is paying to these strategic sectors. Behind this meeting also lies the future direction of American policy towards these assets. Who will attend this meeting and what decisions might result?

Trump Media abandons two important aspects of its crypto partnership with Crypto.com. The group gives up on creating a listed company responsible for accumulating CRO. It also ends an agreement concerning certain future ETFs from Yorkville America. This decision marks a clear shift in priorities, without signifying a complete exit from the crypto market.

The TRUMP memecoin becomes a major political obstacle for American crypto regulation. Two senators demand an SEC investigation at the very moment the Senate is trying to save the CLARITY Act before its August break. The debate no longer only concerns the nature of the token. It directly touches on White House conflicts of interest.

Gabriel Perez, Donald Trump's teleprompter operator, no longer works for the U.S. federal government. He was accused of using confidential information to bet on the president's speeches via the Kalshi platform. His suspicious earnings reportedly exceed $100,000.

Markets will ultimately not get the hoped-for respite. As the temporary tariffs implemented 150 days ago expired, Donald Trump chose to revive the trade war by announcing, this Friday, a new wave of taxes targeting about sixty economies. Presented as a response to forced labor in certain supply chains, this offensive goes far beyond trade. It reignites tensions between the United States, China and the European Union, while fueling a new phase of volatility in financial markets and alternative assets.

Markets only needed a few hours to waver. A surge in oil prices, triggered by escalating tensions in the Middle East, revived risk aversion and led to a sell-off in the most exposed assets. Bitcoin, which was still trying to consolidate its recent gains, found itself caught in a well-known mechanism: rising US bond yields, retreating expectations of Fed rate cuts, and the sudden return of geopolitical uncertainty. Can cryptos still escape macroeconomic turmoil?

The United States thought they finally had the text capable of providing a regulatory framework for the crypto market. It is not the case. Indeed, the CLARITY Act is stuck in a political confrontation that now goes beyond financial oversight issues. The debate has shifted to ethical rules governing political officials holding cryptos, with Donald Trump at the center of discussions. His latest compromise attempt was not enough to unblock the file, further delaying the adoption of a reform eagerly awaited by the industry.

The White House has approved an ethics component of the CLARITY Act and sent the text to Republican senators, removing the last major obstacle before a floor vote. Donald Trump personally gave his approval, rekindling hopes of adoption before the Senate's summer recess.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has asked Donald Trump to publish his crypto-related incomes before the legal deadline, following the revelation of 1.4 billion dollars in gains in 2025. The request comes just days before a crucial Senate vote on a market-structuring law. Will the democracy of regulation hold up against the White House's crypto empire?

TMTG, the operator of Truth Social, announced on Thursday the launch of a paid API offering Wall Street firms very low latency access to the network's posts. This feed aimed at algorithmic trading funds comes as Donald Trump's posts regularly move the markets. How far will this monetization of presidential influence go?

Three Democratic senators won't back the crypto bill without ethics safeguards against Trump's $1.4 billion windfall. They're calling him out.

Trump posted Monday on Truth Social a call to the Senate to vote for the CLARITY Act "in tribute" to Lindsey Graham, a senator who died Saturday at the age of 71. A call that comes as the weakened Republican majority no longer has the 60 votes needed to pass the crypto reform. Will this strategy be enough to rally the Democrats?

Trump refuses to sign the housing bill, but the CBDC ban forces its way through anyway. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act waits nervously in the wings.

While Trump sells us the crypto cold war against the Chinese, his personal piggy bank soars, leaving his most loyal supporters in the lurch.

Cryptos have never been so close to American power. At a time when Congress is examining decisive texts for the sector's future, the White House's financial disclosures reveal that Donald Trump has amassed colossal revenues related to the crypto ecosystem. This convergence between private interests and public decisions fuels an explosive debate in Washington. One question now dominates: can the regulation of these assets still be perceived as impartial when the President of the United States is among the main beneficiaries of this industry?
