🚨 BREAKING: Global #CryptoMarket Suffers 4.42% Drop Amid Tariff Turmoil and Political Backlash 🔴
The global #cryptocurrency market fell 4.42% to $2.23 trillion in the past 24 hours.
Community discussions turned political, with many traders blaming President Donald #Trump for “ruining the bull run” and claiming the market performed better under President Joe Biden. Critics allege Trump and his family acted in ways that hurt the crypto ecosystem for personal gain.
🤯 #Bitcoin slid 4.1% to $65,073, with over $14.22 million in liquidations—mostly long positions ($12.79M). #Ethereum dropped 5.39% to $1,865 after Vitalik Buterin sold 1,716 ETH in the past day.
The Fear & Greed Index fell back to 14, marking another day of extreme fear that has persisted throughout February. Funding rates also turned negative, signaling forced closures of leveraged long positions.
Altcoins were hit even harder, with $ZRO down 13.64% and $PUMP losing 10.05%, indicating no sector rotation to cushion the decline.
The sell-off was triggered by renewed concern over U.S. trade tariffs. On Saturday, Trump announced he would raise the global tariff from 10% to 15%, unsettling markets and fueling broader risk aversion. Following the post, the U.S. dollar and stock futures fell, while Asian equities posted modest gains on Monday.
$2.6B locked across 13 chains. Tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs already live. SEC cleared them with no charges. Trump-backed World Liberty Financial as a partner. JPMorgan. Mastercard. Peter Thiel.
This checks every box I look for in a utility play.
Real assets. Real institutions. Real infrastructure already running.
Dubai launched Phase Two of their real estate tokenization project on XRP Ledger February 20, 2026.
7.8 million property tokens. Fractional ownership starting at AED 2,000. Secured by Ripple Custody. UAE Central Bank backing. $16B tokenization target by 2033.
Yes, the price is down. The adoption is not.
This is what the infrastructure phase looks like. Quiet. Steady. Unglamorous.
Then one day the market catches up to what was being built the whole time.
Patient hands understand this. Are you still bearish?
