This Week in Web3 – The Hottest Stories You Can't Miss

01. Trump's Tariff War

"Relentless tariffs — Is crypto collateral damage in the trade war?"
Trump proposed raising import tariffs on China to as high as 104%. Ray Dalio argues this isn't just about tariffs — it's the collapse of the monetary and political order. Meanwhile, Matt Hougan (Bitwise) believes a weakening USD is Bitcoin's opportunity, potentially hitting $200,000 by year-end.

02. CZ & His Next Adventure

"CZ joins Pakistan's crypto council — paving the way for the industry in a nation of 240 million"
CZ has become a strategic advisor to the Pakistan Crypto Council, which is focused on building the regulatory framework, infrastructure, and Web3 education while fostering collaboration between the government and private sector.

03. The Stablecoin Boom

"Chris Dixon: Stablecoins are finance's WhatsApp moment"
Stablecoins are reshaping how global finance operates — cheaper, faster, and without intermediaries. With over $15.6 trillion transferred in 2024, they're becoming the "superconducting wire" of digital finance.

04. Surviving a Bear Market

"The populist era rises — How do you avoid getting left behind?"
The Federal Reserve is no longer the market's savior. When politics prioritizes fighting inflation over protecting investment assets, investors have to learn how to survive the volatility. History shows that after every major crash, the crypto market rebounds stronger — but also more complex.

05. Projects to Watch

"Towns — The Web3 Discord, backed again by a16z"
Towns is a decentralized messaging protocol that lets communities form groups with true ownership and control. Also notable: SEAL, a project from Mysten Labs on Sui that secures Web3 data through a decentralized key management model.

06. Industry Perspective

"Projects with nothing to show raise money more easily?"
It's not a scam — it's game theory. Investors want in early to capture outsized returns, even knowing the project has nothing real to offer yet.
"If Twitter went dark — what would happen to crypto?"
A huge number of projects depend on Twitter to survive. If it disappeared, would you be ready to watch the market go silent?
