After Trump issued the latest tariff threat, the EU is preparing to suspend the EU-US trade agreement.
EU lawmakers are preparing to suspend the approval of the trade agreement between the EU and the United States, due to US President Donald Trump's vow to impose tariffs on countries supporting Greenland. Manfred Weber, the chairman of the European People's Party, the largest political group in the European Parliament, stated on Saturday that an agreement with the United States is no longer possible.
"The EPP supports the EU-US trade agreement, but in light of Trump's threats regarding Greenland, approval at this stage is impossible," Weber posted on social media, stating that the arrangement to lower tariffs on "US products" in the agreement must be "suspended."
The EU-US trade agreement was reached last summer between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Trump. Some parts of the agreement have already been implemented, but it still requires formal approval from the European Parliament. If EPP lawmakers team up with left-leaning political groups, they may have enough votes to delay or reject its approval.

White House Crypto Director: The Push to Establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve is Ongoing

Currently, multiple government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office of Legal Counsel, are discussing the legal and regulatory issues surrounding the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve, which remains on the priority list.
In addition, the White House stated yesterday that the U.S. government has not sold the Bitcoin seized from the developers of Samourai Wallet; they will be retained on the government’s balance sheet as part of the strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Pickle Cat: From the end of the third quarter to the end of the year, the cryptocurrency situation structurally looks more challenging. Cryptocurrency trader Pickle Cat tweeted that if the macro background is overlaid with Bitcoin's four-year cycle, then from the end of the third quarter to the end of the year, the cryptocurrency situation structurally looks more challenging. Some believe that due to ETFs, institutional participation, and changes in market structure, the four-year cycle has 'ended.' I do not entirely agree with this view. I do believe that this cycle has weakened, but I do not think it has disappeared. Market structure will continue to evolve, but human behavior, liquidity cycles, and position habits will not disappear overnight. In simple terms, if Bitcoin sees a significant drop at the end of the third quarter in 2026, I would not be surprised. Usually at this stage, I would buy in madly rather than retreat or panic.

Ethereum attracts a large number of new users, with first interaction addresses significantly rising
According to CoinDesk, Ethereum's activity has significantly increased in the past month, mainly driven by new addresses interacting for the first time, rather than an increase in activity from existing users. Monthly user tracking data shows a clear surge in the new user group, with these wallets interacting on the blockchain for the first time.
This growth is different from the past, as previous increases in on-chain activity often reflected the same group of users transferring funds more frequently, but the growth of new wallets indicates an increase in Ethereum's inherent appeal, covering DeFi, stablecoin transfers, NFTs, and new applications.
