Hey crypto trailblazer, 👋

We're all waiting for altseason, but the markets are in limbo. Geopolitical uncertainty—from U.S. policy shifts to global conflicts—has Bitcoin trading sideways.

Today, we’re breaking down the biggest macro factors impacting crypto right now.

🌍 The Trump Effect—Chaos and Trade Wars

  • Gaza Takeover Talk? Trump is reportedly interested in taking over Gaza, a move that could escalate tensions in the Middle East.

  • Ukraine Concession The Trump administration has acknowledged that Ukraine won’t reclaim all of its lost territory nor will it be allowed into NATO, giving Russia a favorable resolution to the war.

  • NATO on the Backburner New U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated that NATO isn’t America’s top security priority anymore.

  • Trump’s Trade War 2.0? Rumors of a 60% tariff on Chinese goods could lead to another economic standoff, impacting global markets—including crypto.

🇨🇦 Trump Actually Wants Canada?!

  • All 13 Canadian Premiers Meet with Trump: In February 2025, all 13 Canadian premiers traveled to Washington, D.C., for high-level discussions with U.S. officials. Their goal? To push back against newly imposed U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports and prevent further economic strain on cross-border trade. The unified delegation signaled growing concerns over U.S.-Canada relations under Trump.

  • Trudeau Mocked as 'Governor': After the meetings, Trump took a dismissive tone, referring to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the "Governor of Canada" in an interview. The comment was widely criticized as undermining Canadian sovereignty.

  • Annexation Talk Gets Louder: Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of making Canada the 51st state, arguing that Canada benefits from U.S. protection and would be better off under American governance.

  • Impact on Crypto Markets: With U.S.-Canada trade relations on shaky ground, market uncertainty has surged, leading investors to favor Bitcoin over riskier altcoins. The lack of geopolitical stability is preventing a true altseason breakout.

📉 Why This Is Bad for Altseason

  • Markets Hate Uncertainty: With major political shifts looming, institutional investors are waiting for clarity before deploying serious capital into risk-on assets.

  • Bitcoin Dominance Stays High: BTC remains the safe bet, meaning capital isn’t flowing into alts just yet.

  • Regulatory Uncertainty: The political climate also affects crypto regulation—expect delays in pro-crypto policies as Trump prioritizes spending cuts and redrawing geopolitical maps.

🔮 Crypto Will Rise—But Timing Matters

We’re bullish on crypto this year, but macro forces are keeping markets in a holding pattern. Until these geopolitical uncertainties clear up, investors will remain cautious.
