Before Trump flexed the US air force to Putin yesterday, the crypto market began with huge optimism, with Bitcoin floating at the $120,000 area.<\/p>\n

Following it, crypto experienced mixed sentiments. Bitcoin recorded an all-time high(ATH)of $124k, with Ethereum flying just 3% shy of its ATH, which was then followed by 5-6% dips across the whole market.<\/p>\n

Underlying tensions from geopolitical talks and regulatory shifts have resurfaced, turning the narrative and sentiment upside down. Crypto-related dramas unfolded rapidly, starting with the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, which resulted in nothing for the Ukraine deal.<\/p>\n

The no-peace deal has stalled the potential of peace rallies. Although it has led to minor dips in Ethereum and Solana, a huge PPI numbers has sent crypto to a local bottom just 2 days before.<\/p>\n

From Bearish Alameda Unlock to Trump and WLFI Crypto Buying Spree<\/h2>\n

This week, a major hack revelation involving North Korean groups exposed crypto security, causing a 10% drop in privacy coins like Monero. The hack forced exchanges to tighten protocols, which triggered a $200 million liquidation.<\/p>\n

Alameda Research also comes with a $38 million Solana unlock<\/a>. This, of course, contributes to the SOL dip below $200. The unlock has also caused fear from an FTX black swan event, causing a 7% pullback in altcoin volumes.<\/p>\n

The interesting one was the news that the Ethereum Foundation<\/a> sold 2,795 ETH. The sell happened amid record-breaking ETF inflows, sending ETH testing $4,500 support.<\/p>\n

The next crypto news comes from Trump and his World Liberty Financial wallet. As per Arkham<\/a>, WLFI has scooped up $18.6 million in WBTC and ETH, showing the US president\u2019s trust in crypto.<\/p>\n

Hotter-than-expected US PPI data at 3.3% have probably been the biggest reason for the crypto sell-off. The fear of inflation, which can reduce rate-cut odds, has led to a $1 billion long liquidation.<\/p>\n

HOLY CRAP!<\/p>\n

This is Really bad for Inflation:<\/p>\n

The US PPI numbers are out and they’re MUCH higher than expected! Headline PPI YoY: 3.3% (exp 2.5%, prev 2.3%).<\/p>\n

Now let me explain why this is so terrible for inflation.<\/p>\n
