May 5, 2025: Crypto whirlwind, tariffs, and Musk in the spotlight!

Good morning, crypto enthusiasts!
🌅 While you were sleeping, the world was not idle, and the night from 21:00 to 7:00 brought us hot events that shook the markets and ignited sparks in the crypto community. Let's break down the key news and try to understand how they might shake up the world of cryptocurrency. Let's go! 🚀
1. Democrats on the Warpath: Musk in the Crosshairs
American Democrats have called on Trump to initiate an investigation against Elon Musk. The reason? It's not clear yet, but rumors suggest it could be related to his influence on the market through posts on X or his connections with the crypto community. Musk, as always, doesn't lose his sense of humor and changes his profile picture to a meme inspired by "Bitter." 😎
What does this mean for crypto?
Elon is the king of hype, and any attention on him can cause volatility. If the investigation touches on his crypto initiatives (, for example, support for DOGE or rumors about Tesla and BTC ), expect turbulence. For now, it's more noise than a threat, but keep your finger on the pulse!
2. CZ and Kyrgyzstan: A new crypto alliance?
The President of Kyrgyzstan made a bold move by inviting Changpeng Zhao (CZ) to the National Committee on Cryptography. This is a signal: a small but ambitious country wants to become a crypto hub in Central Asia. 💪
Influence on crypto:
CZ's involvement in such projects is a magnet for investors. If Kyrgyzstan begins to implement progressive regulation, it could raise interest in Asian markets and altcoins. Plus, it strengthens CZ's reputation as a global crypto leader. A bullish signal for the ecosystem!
3. Michael Saylor: Bitcoin is king, Berkshire is yesterday's news
Michael Saylor is on fire again: he called Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway the "Bitcoin of the 20th century" and continues to post about Bitcoin Tracker. His message is clear: BTC is the future, while traditional assets are becoming obsolete. 🥇
How does this affect the market?
Saylor is one of the main bulls of Bitcoin, and his words often push the price of BTC up. His comparison to Berkshire may attract the attention of institutional investors who are still sitting on the fence. If the market picks up this narrative, expect a local pump of BTC. But be cautious: the hype may be short-lived.
4. Trump and the economy: Tariffs, rates, taxes — and no fear!
Donald Trump is back in the spotlight. Bank of America reports that the market expects him to lower tariffs, interest rates, and taxes - a classic recipe for stimulating the economy. But Trump himself makes a bold statement: he is not afraid of a recession, and he is ready to take responsibility for the consequences of his tariffs. 💥
What does this mean for cryptocurrencies?
Lowering rates and taxes: This is a bullish signal for risk assets, including crypto. Cheap money and tax breaks may push investors towards Bitcoin and altcoins, especially if the dollar weakens.
Rates: Here's the catch. Trump's tariffs have already caused crashes in the crypto market in February and April 2025. For example, BTC dropped to $91K, and ETH to $2135(. If Trump continues the escalation of the trade war, especially with China, the markets may panic again, and crypto will go into the red zone.
Responsibility for the recession: Trump's statement about being willing to take the blame sounds bold, but markets do not like uncertainty. If investors decide that his policies are too risky, it could increase pressure on crypto as a risk asset.
Conclusion: The crypto market is at a crossroads
The morning of May 5, 2025, is a cocktail of optimism and uncertainty. On one hand, CZ and Saylor are igniting bullish sparks, while Trump's potential cuts in interest rates and taxes may fuel growth. On the other hand, Trump's tariff policy and the noise surrounding Musk keep the market on edge. 📉📈
My forecast:
Short-term scenario )1–2 weeks(: Volatility. If tariff news escalates, expect BTC dips to $90K–$92K and ETH to $1600–$1700. But Saylor's posts and CZ's steps can quickly restore optimism.
Long-term scenario )3–6 months(: If Trump implements rate and tax cuts, and the trade war does not spiral out of control, crypto could reach a new high. BTC to $100K+ and ETH to $3000+ is quite realistic.
Advice to crypto warriors
Keep your portfolio diversified, stay updated on tariff news, and don't give in to panic. Crypto favors the bold, but the smart! 💎
