Decentralization? Not yet – Bitcoin interacts with Trump more than the federal reserve
Bitcoin has been created to be outside governments and political manipulation. But in 2025, the line between decentralized financing and the central influence is unclear – and the latest perpetrator is not a central bank or a rogue exchange. It is Donald Trump.
In recent weeks, the price of Bitcoin has repeatedly reflected Trump’s statements. On the night of May 26, BTC increased by 2.5 %, climbing near the mark of $ 110,000. The trigger? A leaflet from Trump was postponed on the social truth that the American tariffs on European goods – which were initially appointed on June 1 – until July 9, 2025. This delay came after an invitation with European Commission President Ursula von der Lin. Only three days ago, when Trump first unveiled the tariff plan by 50 %, Bitcoin decreased by approximately 2 % immediately after the announcement. This type of back and fleeing is not random. It is a coordinated effect, whether it is intended or not.
The effect is not limited to bitcoin. Even Dogecoin, the MG currency that was once dependent on Elon Musk tweets, is now interacting with the Trump theme content. As we previously discussed, the Trump Mahalh, which includes former president, bend the Dogecoin flag, can send currency search attention and high trading volume. Whether it is definitions or memes on the Internet, Trump’s digital shadow clearly transfers the markets.
Meanwhile, the institutional layer of the ecosystem for encryption add fuel to the fire. From May 19 to May 23, the investment funds traded at Bitcoin Spot in the United States recorded $ 2.75 billion in net flow-one of the highest weekly results since these funds were launched in early 2024. This week also witnessed the total trading volume of $ 25 billion, and there must be a new rise in 2025. For every dollar that flows to these beaks, asset managers must be like Blackrock buy Backin. This creates a large and sustainable demand – and adds an ascending pressure on the price specifically in the moments when the political actors issue headlines.
Total management assets through all investment funds circulated in active Bitcoin are now more than $ 131.4 billion. This means that the main institutions are the storage of BTC, and often coinciding with the news cycle. This is where things become mysterious. Many observers suspect that Trump’s inner circle may put good timing deals before the main policy data reaches the public. The timing is simply very consistent to ignore it.
In traditional financing, this behavior raises warnings. Historically, the interior trading led to severe penalties. Take Raj Rajaratnam, sentenced to 11 years in prison for trading from the inside. Or Martha Stewart, who spent five months behind bars to block the trade investigation from the inside. Or Jeffrey Skilling, former CEO of Enron who has served more than a decade due to corporate fraud and the dealers of the informed. In each case, the use of non -general information to achieve personal gains or companies was met with severe consequences.
But today? Similar patterns are ignored on another day in the digital economy. Law enforcement is weak, anger, and the market is run. However, society adapts. Bitcoin’s reactions to Trump’s ads are more complete. Traders often deal with their economic statements as short -term volatile events, rather than actual -term political transformations. There is an increasing recognition that many of these noise is exactly – noise, not essence. But this does not change the fact that prices are still moving, and money is still earned, against the background of the political theater.
Bitcoin was born as a protest against central manipulation. Ironically, in 2025, he behaves like a campaign tool more than a decentralized revolution. It is not alone – the other encryption origins fall into similar traps, manipulated by themes, addresses and characters. Whether through official data, online platforms or M and a culture, political figures actively form the market.
Explore how the political impact is the reconfusion of the encryption, how Bitcoin and other digital assets are no longer isolated from geopolitical games.
If you are following the money, you are also following addresses. This is the new natural – and perhaps the real use of Blockchain in 2025 is the measurement of the centrality of our “decentralized” world.
