Today in crypto, economist and author of The Bitcoin Standard, Saifedean Ammous, said US President Donald Trump’s decision to reverse higher tariffs was likely a reaction to rising bond yields and exposed weaknesses in the US economy, Strike founder Jack Mallers is set to lead a crypto firm set to compete with Michael Saylor’s Strategy, and Trump is hosting a dinner for top holders of his memecoin.
