In response, Trump said the U.S. will impose a 100% tariff on Chinese goods and enforce export controls on critical software from the same date.

Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, recognized for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called her “tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.” 

But for many in the Bitcoin community, the win carries another layer of meaning — because Machado isn’t just a democracy activist. She’s also one of few (but growing) global political figures who has openly embraced Bitcoin as a tool of resistance against authoritarianism.

The Nobel Committee described Machado, 58, as “a woman who keeps the flame of democracy going amidst a growing darkness.” 

It’s a description that fits not just…

The bitcoin price dropped to the $118,000s range today after President Trump announced plans to raise tariffs on Chinese goods in response to China’s export controls on rare earth metals. 

Bitcoin price is down roughly 2.3% in the past 24 hours and about 6% since reaching a record high above $126,000 just four days ago.

President Trump threatened a “massive” increase in tariffs on Chinese goods, signaling a sharp escalation in the U.S.-China trade tensions and casting doubt on a planned APEC meeting with President Xi. This came after China imposed new limits on rare earth and related technology trade. 

“I was to meet President Xi in two weeks, at APEC, in South…

Morgan Stanley will open the doors to cryptocurrency investments for all its clients, marking a major shift by the world’s largest wealth management firm. Starting October 15, financial advisors can pitch crypto funds to any client and in any type of account, including retirement accounts. Until now, only wealthy investors with at least $1.5 million and high-risk tolerance could gain access to these products.

The decision comes as the bank accelerates its push into digital assets, following last month’s announcement that bitcoin, ether, and solana trading will soon be available through its E-Trade platform. Advisors are currently limited to bitcoin funds managed by BlackRock and Fidelity, but Morgan Stanley is monitoring the market for future additions. To protect investors, the firm will use automated checks to prevent overexposure to volatile crypto assets.

With $8.2 trillion in client assets, Morgan Stanley is positioning itself as a leading Wall Street player in the crypto space. Its investment committee recommends a cautious entry, suggesting allocations of up to 4% depending on individual goals.
