Trump Unleashes 50% Tariff on Brazil: Crypto Reacts and Markets Quiver

It was through the most modern of missives, his social media channels, that President Trump did proclaim this action in a letter most formal, directed to the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The missive was no mere pleasantry, but rather a pointed critique of Brazil’s “unfair trade practices,” with particular scorn for the Brazilian Supreme Court’s handling of the former President, Jair Bolsonaro. The unfortunate soul, presently embroiled in a trial for inciting an anti-democratic coup attempt, surely hath drawn the ire of his political adversaries.

XRP Rocketing: Ripple’s Regulatory Push & Institutional Backing Ignite Price Surge!

Ripple has decided to apply for a national banking charter through the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and this could be a game changer for the company. If they get the license, they’ll be able to offer digital asset custody, payment settlement infrastructure, and tokenization services under U.S. banking law.
