1. Trump's Tariff Measures Suppress Bitcoin's Surge

After the White House dismissed a hopeful report on tariff delays, a familiar situation emerged in the cryptocurrency space. To recap, President Trump promised on Thursday to impose a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada starting Saturday, February 1. Before this news broke, Bitcoin (BTC) had surged above $106,000 but quickly retraced 2% to around $104,000. The U.S. stock market gave back much of its early gains but still closed higher. In all newsletters on Friday, Reuters reported that the tariffs would be delayed until March 1, as countries were developing procedures to allow for exemptions on certain export products. However, the White House called the report "false," with Trump’s press secretary, Caroline Levitt, telling reporters just minutes ago that the tariffs—including a 10% tariff on China—would take effect tomorrow. Similar to Thursday, Bitcoin had earlier climbed above $106,000, seemingly poised to challenge a new record above $109,000. However, the tariff news again led to a price drop, and at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading slightly below $103,000, down 2.3% in the past 24 hours. The broader CoinDesk 20 index fell 1.3% during the same period, performing well mainly due to a 1.2% rise in Ethereum (ETH). Checking traditional markets, the U.S. stock market was still slightly up but well below the day's highs. -Original

2. January Options Contracts Expire, Market Digests Trump's Trade Impact

Greeks.live analyst Adam posted on social media, "80,000 BTC options are expiring today, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.68 and a maximum pain point of $98,000, with a notional value of $8.38 billion. 603,000 ETH options are expiring today, with a Put Call Ratio of 0.43 and a maximum pain point of $3,300, with a notional value of $1.96 billion. The market has been relatively quiet this week, mainly digesting the impact of Trump's trade policies over the past three months, with monthly delivery volumes accounting for nearly 30% of total open interest, and the open interest for quarterly options expiring at the end of March reaching 50%. Trump's administration has not brought the expected influx of capital to the crypto industry; instead, the issuance of memes and slow policy releases have weakened the crypto market. However, in the long run, there are still many positive developments to look forward to. The Federal Reserve's meeting maintained interest rates, and expectations for subsequent macro events are relatively stable. This week, we will focus on changes in U.S. government policies and the inflow of ETFs." -Original
