The crypto markets are in a spirit of optimism on March 24, 2025: New news about possible easing of the announced Trump tariffs is having a positive impact on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. According to market analysts, the measures may be less harsh than feared – a signal that is well received by investors.
Bitcoin and Ether Gain
Bitcoin climbed by more than 1% overnight to around $87,300. Ether also gained, trading at $2,090, up 4%. Particularly interesting: ETH holdings on centralized exchanges have fallen to a low last seen in November 2015 – a potentially bullish signal for medium- to long-term price movements.
Altcoins on the Rise – Trump Tokens in Focus
In addition to the major cryptocurrencies, smaller tokens also performed strongly. Coins from the field of artificial intelligence, meme coins, and layer-1 projects saw significant gains. Particularly striking was the rise of the Trump-affiliated WLFI token, which attracted millions in investments. The TRUMP token, which President Trump recently described as “the greatest of all,” as well as Fartcoin and Sonic, also gained over 9%.
Tokenized Real Assets Break the $10 Billion Mark
Another highlight: The market for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has exceeded the $10 billion mark in total value locked (TVL) for the first time. Particularly noteworthy are Maker, BlackRock’s BUIDL, and Ethena, each with over $1 billion in TVL.
Fundamental Stimulus from the Market Environment
The U.S. Federal Reserve remains dovish and continues to plan two interest rate cuts – despite the potential inflationary effects of Trump’s tariffs. This provides additional support. At the same time, DWF Labs announced a new $250 million fund for larger crypto projects, and Coinbase is apparently close to acquiring Deribit, the world’s largest crypto options exchange.
Looking ahead: An exciting week lies ahead
Important events are coming up in the coming days: New US inflation data will be released on Friday, and SEC Chairman-designate Paul Atkins will testify before the US Senate on March 27 – a key date for the future of crypto market regulation.
