    Hey there, fellow crypto enthusiasts It's your buddy Crypto Willy here, and I'm excited to share the latest updates from the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Let's dive right in!

    Last week was a rollercoaster ride for the crypto market. On February 2, President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China sent shockwaves through the market, leading to a massive sell-off that wiped out over $2.2 billion in 24 hours. This was the largest liquidation event in crypto history, surpassing even the FTX collapse and the COVID-19 crash.

    However, the market staged a remarkable recovery, with Bitcoin rebounding by 7.14% to around $101,000 and Ethereum surging 12% to $2,809. Altcoins like XRP also saw significant gains, soaring 23.34%. This rebound was partly attributed to a temporary delay in the implementation of the announced tariffs, providing a brief respite and easing trade war fears.

    Now, let's talk about the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance. This has fueled a surge in crypto ETF filings, with the U.S. now having 47 active filings. Upcoming approvals for altcoin and memecoin ETFs could drive new liquidity into the market. Solana, in particular, has been a standout performer, outpacing Ethereum in DEX trading volume for the fourth consecutive month. The explosive growth of new token creation has led some analysts to believe that the number of crypto assets in existence might reach 100 million by year-end.

    Speaking of Solana, its dominance in DeFi and DEX growth is largely driven by memecoin speculation, low fees, and high transaction speeds. The launch of $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins triggered a 320% spike in weekly DEX volume, with Solana processing over $11 billion in trading volume, 300 million daily transactions, and exceeding 4 million active addresses.

    On the regulatory front, the U.S. Treasury has finalized rules expanding reporting requirements to certain DeFi platforms. This could shape institutional adoption and impact the stablecoin market, which grew 6% to $217 billion in January.

    Lastly, let's touch on the AI narrative, which remains robust in the crypto space. Artificial Intelligence accounts for 44% of market discussions, surpassing memecoins and DeFi. Interest in AI-powered DeFi applications and on-chain trading agents is expected to grow, according to Binance's February 2025 report.

    As of February 17, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $96,400, with technical indicators suggesting a potential retest of the $91,000 support level before any sustained upward movement. That's all for now, folks Stay tuned for more updates from the world of crypto.
