Bitcoin soared past $90,000 for the first time earlier this week, fueled in part by excitement surrounding former President Donald Trump’s campaign and the broader surge in digital asset interest. This milestone comes amid growing fears about traditional markets, with investors looking for alternative assets to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Trump’s rising political profile, especially his calls for a crypto-friendly regulatory environment, appears to be adding fuel to the fire.
As political and economic uncertainty continues to grow, Bitcoin’s appeal as a store of value is attracting more attention. Experts remain very divided on whether this price surge is sustainable or not, but for now, Bitcoin is riding high on a wave of both market momentum and Trump-inspired optimism. Unless you are Gary Gensler.

The European Union's violations are specifically related to Facebook Marketplace and their claims that the platform didn't do enough to prevent illegal goods from being sold in its marketplace, which is an EU consumer protection no-no. This is part of a broader crackdown by the EU on tech giants accused of fostering harmful content and unfair business practices.
Meta has already made efforts to improve moderation on Marketplace, but the EU’s decision suggests it's still not enough. This latest fine is a reminder that the EU’s tough stance on digital regulation isn’t going away anytime soon—Meta’s wallet might need a little more "protection" too.
