This post was written by Josh Lynch Bitcoin's pullback is 'typical,' Senator Lummis explains Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joins Market Domination to share her perspective on the cryptocurrency market as bitcoin (BTC-USD) drops below $85,000. "It's not unusual for assets, at this point in time, after a change in presidency, to pull back," she explains to Yahoo Finance, adding that it is "typical" in February for assets to see a "slump" after a new president takes office. However, she notes that it would be a "surprise" if bitcoin didn't recover during the second quarter this year. Regarding bitcoin reserve legislation, Lummis emphasizes, "We need to help people understand that short-term volatility is going to happen with bitcoin — it always has. The goal of a strategic reserve is to buy or convert current assets into bitcoin and then hold them ... that way, we can remove the short-term volatility from the equation and look at this as a long-term strategic asset." Nonetheless, she acknowledges, "We have more work to do," though remains confident it can be accomplished under what she considers a "favorable" Trump administration.

Trump's 'blanket approach' on tariffs leaves risk for recession Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's meeting with US President Trump and Vice President JD Vance turned heated as the American leaders pressed him, with Trump later writing that Zelenskyy is "not ready for peace."

"Remember tariffs are a tax, and they're primarily a consumer tax, [it's] a consumption tax, sort of like a VAT [value-added tax]. And that’s a regressive tax. So what ends up happening is the poor people, it eats up more of their disposable income than any other income group," Scaramucci says. He also warns about the possibility of a recession through these combative trade policies: "I don't think this sort of blanket approach is the right way to do it, and I think he's [Trump] is going to put us into a recession, frankly."

Bitcoin's volatile sell-off is 'very natural': Anthony Pompliano Bitcoin's (BTC-USD) recent sell-off has caused concern among many investors as the cryptocurrency dropped by over 25% since it's record high in January. Professional Capital Management founder and CEO Anthony Pompliano sits down with Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi at Bitcoin Investor Week to reassure crypto investors of the digital asset's volatile nature and that bitcoin has historically seen several drawdowns of 30% or more during previous bull markets. "Really what we're seeing is just what has always happened, bitcoin is a volatile asset. That's what people are buying — it's buying volatility. So if you want bitcoin to go up, you've got to be okay with it going down sometimes, and these kind of cooling off periods, or these consolidations, are very natural," Pompliano tells Yahoo Finance. Regarding the broader market, Pompliano notes that bitcoin’s current decline is tied to global liquidity: "Bitcoin just happens to be the asset that is most sensitive to global liquidity. Whenever you get that sensitivity, if liquidity is contracting, bitcoin will go down." Additionally, the conversation shifts to where Pompliano talks about the potential impact of the US buying bitcoin as part of a strategic bitcoin reserve, suggesting that it could drive prices much higher.
