BTC, XRP, ADA, SOL Collapse as White House Crypto Summit Disappoints!

The highly anticipated White House Crypto Summit promised fireworks, but traders got a fizzle instead. 

Hopes were sky-high for a U.S. strategic crypto reserve loaded with major altcoins like XRP, ADA, and SOL—especially after President Trump’s pro-crypto stance fueled excitement.

But instead of groundbreaking announcements, the summit delivered cautious steps toward stablecoin legislation and a promise of a lighter regulatory touch before August.

Even Trump’s bold statement—calling it "foolish" for the government to have sold so much of its seized Bitcoin—couldn’t save the day. He dropped a strong hint: "Never sell your Bitcoin!" 

Result? XRP, ADA, and SOL took a nosedive, falling harder than BTC as investors bailed out in disappointment.

Technical Analysis Highlight

Crypto Liquidations Skyrocket to $620 Million!

The crypto market kicked off the week with a brutal downturn, wiping out $620.5 million in liquidations over the past 24 hours. The crash was primarily triggered by lackluster statements made during the White House Summit, sparking a wave of panic selling.

Bitcoin $BTC took the hardest hit, plunging to $80,000 over the weekend before attempting a technical rebound today. However, the lack of trading volume reveals a weak and unconvincing recovery, indicating that the bounce lacks strong fundamentals and significant buying pressure.

The sudden drop unleashed a cascade of margin calls, forcing heavily leveraged traders to close positions and intensifying volatility across the entire market.

Is this just the beginning of a bigger crash?

Macro-Economic Update

Inflation in the U.S. eased to 2.8% in February 2025 from 3% in January, beating forecasts of 2.9%

Energy prices cooled off in February, with gasoline and fuel oil dropping while natural gas rose, contributing to an overall easing in inflation. Shelter and transportation costs also slowed, while food prices saw a slight uptick. Core inflation fell to its lowest level since 2021, signaling that price pressures are gradually softening.

This could prompt the Federal Reserve to reconsider aggressive rate hikes, potentially boosting investor confidence and driving liquidity back into the crypto market. Lower inflation generally favors risk assets like cryptocurrencies, so keep an eye on how Bitcoin and Ethereum react in the coming days.

Wallet Inflows & Outflows Weekly Report

Top 2 Cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH)

Bitcoin Outflows stay high despite constant Inflows, Ethereum stalls

This week has been quite unusual when it comes to wallet inflows and outflows for Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

Bitcoin continues to experience significant daily peaks of heavy outflows, followed by more frequent but smaller inflows, creating a dynamic but somewhat balanced trend.

Ethereum shows almost a zero net flow, as inflows and outflows have consistently matched over the past four days, as shown in the chart.

Overall, the situation remains fairly stable for both cryptocurrencies, with no major signals of a trend reversal from wallet movements at the moment.

Economic Trends Affecting Crypto Markets

Regulatory Pressures and Liquidity Fears Shake Up Sentiment!

Crypto market is reacting to several key trends. Regulatory pressure remains high as the US pushes for stricter crypto rules, raising uncertainty among investors. In contrast, the EU is moving forward with MiCA regulations, aiming to boost transparency and institutional adoption. Meanwhile, liquidity concerns are growing as major exchanges face increased scrutiny, impacting trading volumes.

Investor sentiment is also shifting as traditional markets experience turbulence, with some capital flowing back into safe-haven assets like Bitcoin. DeFi projects and altcoins remain volatile, as cautious sentiment prevails amid global economic uncertainties. Additionally, institutional interest in crypto continues, driven by expectations of long-term adoption despite short-term challenges. The market remains on edge as traders weigh regulatory risks against potential growth opportunities.

Key Macroeconomic Insights

Trade Turmoil, Europe’s Bold Move, and US Job Growth Surprise!

Financial markets are feeling the impact of recent US trade policy decisions, with tariff hikes raising inflation fears and dampening demand by reducing consumer purchasing power. As a result, US equity prices and crypto have pulled back to pre-election levels, and automotive stocks took a hit over concerns about disrupted supply chains. 

Meanwhile, Europe is repositioning its policies in response to changing US stances, especially around defense spending, signaling potential economic shifts ahead. 

In the US job market, employment growth slowed in February, with the unemployment rate ticking up slightly, surprising investors.
