Amid geopolitical turbulence and growing interest in digital assets, governments and corporations continue to strengthen their crypto positions. Recent events show that cryptocurrency is no longer just an alternative — it is becoming a strategic asset against the backdrop of increasing pressure from both traditional markets and state regulators.
Europe Ready to Offer €50 Billion Deal to the U.S.
The European Union has made a bold statement: the bloc is ready to offer a €50 billion trade deal to the United States, aimed at de-escalating tariff tensions and improving bilateral economic relations. Notably, technological alliances — including digital finance and blockchain — are among the proposed areas of cooperation.
According to diplomatic sources, the EU may propose joint blockchain infrastructure development with the U.S., as well as easing restrictions for European crypto companies operating in America. Analysts believe such a deal could not only stabilize trade but also accelerate institutional crypto adoption on both continents.
China Signals Readiness for Tariff Talks
In parallel with Europe, China has also expressed its willingness to enter tariff negotiations with the U.S. Despite historic tensions between the two countries, Beijing is taking a pragmatic stance — including toward digital assets.
Some Chinese analysts suggest that cryptocurrencies could become part of future negotiations, especially in the context of using the digital yuan (e-CNY) in cross-border trade. Moreover, Chinese tech giants are actively investing in Web3, NFTs, and DeFi platforms, which could serve as another point of connection with the West.
Strategy Capital Plans $84 Billion BTC Purchase
Investment firm Strategy Capital announced its intent to raise $84 billion for a large-scale Bitcoin purchase. Interestingly, the statement came after a quarterly report showing losses due to a declining traditional asset portfolio.
Company leadership said their current “exit from fiat” strategy involves converting a significant portion of assets into BTC to hedge against further volatility in traditional markets. Strategy is also considering launching its own ETF and partnering with custodial platforms to store crypto assets.
EU Aims to Ban Anonymous Cryptocurrencies by 2027
Amid growing oversight of financial flows, the European Commission has unveiled a proposal to ban all anonymous cryptocurrencies (such as Monero and Zcash) within the EU by 2027.
The document notes that the ban would apply to both trading and custody of such assets on regulated platforms. The goal is to combat money laundering and terrorism financing, though the crypto community has already raised concerns about encroachments on financial privacy.
If approved, the initiative could drastically reshape the European crypto landscape and force several projects to exit the region.
Blockchain Group Plans to Acquire 260,000 BTC by 2035
Blockchain Group, a corporation managing multiple funds and crypto infrastructure projects, has announced plans to gradually acquire up to 260,000 BTC by 2035 — an ambitious goal equivalent to over 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Company representatives explained that BTC would serve as a strategic reserve, supporting their Web3 solutions and internal stablecoins. The purchases will be phased, with a focus on bear market periods.
21Shares Files for SUI ETF with the SEC
Swiss company 21Shares, known for its crypto exchange-traded funds, has submitted a filing with the SEC to launch an ETF based on the SUI token — one of the fastest-growing Layer 1 ecosystem projects.
The SUI-based ETF could become the first institutional product linked to this blockchain, giving large investors access to DeFi protocols within the Sui Network. The application comes amid growing interest in alternatives to Ethereum and Solana, as well as rapid development of decentralized applications on the Sui platform.
The global crypto scene is evolving rapidly: geopolitical negotiations, institutional Bitcoin acquisitions, regulatory efforts targeting anonymous assets, and the launch of new ETFs — all of this points to one thing. Crypto is becoming part of global politics and financial architecture. We are entering a transition period that will define which projects, assets, and approaches will dominate in the coming decade.
