The White House is pushing back hard on speculation that it’s working behind closed doors to drive down the dollar. Stephen Miran, who chairs the Council of Economic Advisers, made that clear during an interview on Bloomberg’s Big Take DC podcast. “We’re not secretly at work on any of this stuff. There’s nothing there,” Miran said when asked if the Trump administration was trying to organize an international agreement to weaken the US currency. He also stressed that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the one who officially speaks on the government’s currency stance. According to Bloomberg, the recent chaos in foreign exchange markets, especially after President Donald Trump put his planned tariffs on hold, had traders thinking something else might be happening. Trump paused his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs on April 9 to leave room for negotiations, and almost immediately, currencies in Asia began surging. Taiwan’s dollar jumped close to 10%, the highest move since 1988. South Korea’s won climbed by 6.4%. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index has fallen more than 6% since Trump returned to the White House. Stephen said nothing has changed in the administration’s currency approach, even if traders are reading into the market moves. He confirmed that he hasn’t been part of the trade talks directly, but still dismissed the idea of any coordinated effort to drag the dollar lower. “The United States continues to have the strong dollar policy,” Stephen said. Scott, who took over the Treasury not long ago, had previously floated the idea of a similar agreement before stepping into his current role. But now, he’s sticking to a consistent message. He supports the long-standing view that the dollar should stay strong and that exchange rates should be set by the market, not by policy games. On the sidelines of a G-7 meeting in Banff, Canada, Scott met with Japan’s Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato. Afterward, the US Treasury said both men “reaffirmed their shared belief that exchange rates should be market determined and that, at present, the dollar-yen exchange rate reflects fundamentals.” That was an effort to calm markets, but it didn’t stop the South Korean won from hitting a seven-month high later that day. Local news had reported that currency direction was mentioned during trade talks between the US and South Korea. Stephen used the podcast to remind people that his paper was just a thought experiment—not a plan. “Markets are taking it more seriously than the administration is,” he said. But traders are still connecting the dots. That’s partly because of how the old currency deals came together—quietly, without announcements—making it hard for investors to trust public denials. Still, Stephen said that’s not how things work under Trump. “This is the most transparent administration in history,” he claimed. “Almost every single day the president hosts a press conference. He tells you exactly what he’s thinking, exactly what he wants to accomplish, exactly what he’s going to do, and one by one he does what he says he’s going to do.” Even so, things haven’t always been perfectly consistent. Just last month, Stephen gave a speech where he called the dollar’s dominant role in global finance a “burden.” He said that status hurts American workers and businesses by making labor and exports too expensive internationally. But now he’s backtracking a bit. On the podcast, he insisted that the dollar’s global position brings major upsides. “A strong dollar is good for America. That’s not just merely a statement about levels—it’s a statement about the strength of the dollar system and dollar dominance. That gives us many other benefits.” What’s not clear is how long those “benefits” will last. Markets have already started reacting. After Trump announced his April 2 tariff strategy, US assets tanked. Stocks, Treasuries, and the dollar all got hit in what analysts called a “sell America” moment. Stephen said he wasn’t shocked. “I wasn’t surprised by the volatility,” he said. In his view, the swings in the market were simply a reaction to the bigger changes Trump is trying to make. But he also added one final note: that turbulence won’t last forever. “That volatility doesn’t last forever,” he said.

In a bold statement during a private dinner event, President Trump told attendees that the U.S. is “dominating” in Bitcoin and crypto, adding, “and we are going to keep it that way.” The declaration was meant to reaffirm his pro-crypto stance—but markets seemed to react with skepticism rather than celebration. TRUMP coin ( TRUMPUSD ), which has been one of the most volatile meme coins in recent months, plunged shortly after the dinner began, leading many to believe traders were waiting for the perfect moment to short the hype. TRUMP/USD Price Crash - TradingView Crypto X (formerly Twitter) was buzzing all evening: “This Trump dinner is boring lmao, for a top holder I’d expect the room to at least be a bit bigger,” one user posted, hinting at underwhelming event optics. And Justin Sun, founder of Tron and a frequent crypto-event attendee, tweeted: “On my way to Trump dinner @GetTrumpMemes” — adding to the anticipation. But once the event got underway, the tone online shifted. The enthusiasm didn’t match the price action—and TRUMP coin bears took over. On the 2-hour TRUMP/USD chart , we can see that TRUMP was gaining momentum, peaking around $16.50, just before the event. Then, a clear rejection candle formed (marked with a red arrow), followed by a steep red candle as the price dropped to just above $14, briefly touching the 50-period SMA at $13.82. TRUMP/USD 2-hours chart - TradingView This looks like a textbook “sell the news” pattern. While Trump’s words were bullish for crypto in general, the TRUMP coin selloff shows that meme coin traders still move based on sentiment, hype cycles, and social optics. The market didn’t buy into the “dominance” narrative—at least not this time. Whether TRUMP coin can recover depends on what comes next: real utility, more strategic endorsements, or just the next viral post. Until then, traders are watching closely—and clearly, they're not afraid to sell the top.

As excited as I am about my other holdings and their upside potential in the coming months, there is still no other alt-coin in this space that has lower timeframe impulsive structure as clean as $XRP has had off of it's lows. The chop/consolidation we are seeing on $XRP in the $2 range is not a cause for concern- the longer we chop in this tight range the more explosive the next leg up will be. From a wave perspective the next leg up on XRP is akin to the wave up we saw on $BTC that took us from 25k to 74k (Wave 3), so a tight consolidation prior to this massive move up is to be expected/welcomed.

Electric vehicle retailer Jiuzi Holdings announced plans to acquire 1,000 Bitcoins over the next year, marking a significant pivot into digital assets. The company said it would fund the purchase through a mix of additional stock issuance and cash purchases, signaling growing corporate confidence in Bitcoin ( BTC ) as a long-term strategic asset, according to the company. The board-approved acquisition plan underscores Jiuzi’s belief in the long-term potential of blockchain technology and aims to diversify the company’s asset base amid shifting market conditions. Jiuzi Holdings Inc is a China-based enterprise focused on running retail outlets for new energy vehicles. Operating under the Jiuzi brand, the company sells battery-operated electric vehicles and plug-in electric vehicles, primarily in third and fourth-tier cities across China. Jiuzi cited Bitcoin’s liquidity and historical value appreciation as key reasons for its decision. “We are well aware of the volatility and uncertainty of the Bitcoin market, but it is based on a deep understanding of blockchain technology and a long-term bullish belief that we decided to take this step,” the company’s CEO said in a statement. To finance the move, Jiuzi will issue new shares while also tapping into its cash reserves and potentially seeking external funding. The dual-track strategy, the company said, balances capital-raising needs with shareholder interests. The move positions Jiuzi alongside a growing list of public companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets in pursuit of asset diversification and inflation hedging. Public companies like Genius Group and KULR Technology Group have increased their Bitcoin holdings with multimillion-dollar purchases to expand their crypto treasuries. The company also plans to explore broader blockchain applications beyond asset holdings, signaling a long-term interest in Web3-related technologies.
