Bitcoin (BTC) continued declining during the ongoing session, extending its losses for a fourth day as selling pressure thanks to Galaxy Digital’s mammoth Bitcoin transaction pushed prices lower. The flagship cryptocurrency fell to a low of $114,770 on Friday as bearish sentiment peaked. However, it rebounded to reclaim $117,000, and currently trades around $117,307. Satoshi-Era Investor Cashes Out Via Galaxy Digital An early Bitcoin (BTC) investor has cashed out 80,000 BTC worth $9 billion at current prices through Galaxy Digital, completing what is being described as one of the largest notional transactions in crypto history. However, the details regarding the transaction have not been disclosed. The sale disclosure appeared in an announcement late on Friday, followed by a post on Galaxy Digital’s official blog. Galaxy Digital has not revealed the client’s identity, but stated that it was “part of the investor’s broader real estate planning strategy.” The announcement came after a day of heightened volatility for Bitcoin , with the asset’s price briefly dropping below $115,000 on Friday. Lookonchain data revealed several large transactions from Galaxy Digital throughout Friday, with most of the funds sent directly to exchanges. All the transactions were tied to the investor who moved over 80,000 BTC from a wallet that was dormant for 14 years. BTC rebounded after Friday’s drop below $115,000, with analysts noting that the market has already absorbed the entire sale. Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya, stated, “80,000 BTC , over $9 billion, was sold into open market order books, and bitcoin barely moved.” Bitcoin (BTC) Could Reach $135,000 By Year-End Citigroup has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $135,000 by the end of the year in its best-case scenario. According to Citigroup analysts, strong demand from spot Bitcoin ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and growing user adoption could fuel the flagship cryptocurrency’s rally. Bitcoin is trading between $115,000 and $120,000 over the past week, showing resilience despite mixed economic data. The prediction has sparked optimism among investors and highlights Wall Street’s growing confidence in the leading cryptocurrency. Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered from Friday’s low as it reclaimed $117,000 and moved to $117,565. Despite the recovery, it remains in the red during the ongoing session, with the price marginally down. However, the flagship cryptocurrency has recovered over the past 24 hours, up nearly 2%. Analysts believe the price will pull back towards the $115,000 mark if current market trends continue, marking a 6% decline from recent all-time highs. However, they pointed out that the correction remains well within the normal volatility range observed in previous bull phases. This indicates the decline is part of a healthy market reset rather than a deeper correction. BTC registered a sharp drop last Tuesday (July 15), dropping to a low of $115,701 before settling at $117,682. It recovered on Wednesday, rising almost 1% to reclaim $118,000 and settle at $118,641. The price faced volatility on Thursday as buyers and sellers struggled to establish control. Buyers ultimately gained the upper hand as the price registered a marginal increase and settled at $119,101. Despite the positive sentiment, BTC lost momentum on Friday, dropping 1.03% to $117,877. Sellers retained control over the weekend, with the price dropping marginally on Saturday and 0.48% on Sunday to settle at $117,240.

Bit Digital is trying to triple its authorized share capital to fund even more Ethereum buys. The company said in an SEC filing on Friday that it’s calling a shareholder meeting this September to approve the decision. If passed, Bit Digital’s authorized ordinary shares would jump from 340 million to 1 billion, and total authorized capital would rise from $3.5 million to $10.1 million. The number of preference shares, capped at 10 million, won’t change. This expansion is meant to support its long-term Ethereum acquisition plans and overall growth. Bit Digital said the current share structure no longer fits its goals. “Our management believes that our current authorized share capital is not sufficient for our needs,” the filing said. The company’s board is pushing for the proposal, with every member voting in favor and recommending shareholders do the same. The decision will need a majority vote from both ordinary and preference shareholders. Bit Digital buys 19,683 ETH with direct offering proceeds Bit Digital has already shown what it plans to do with more capital. On July 18, the company confirmed it had bought 19,683 Ethereum using money raised from a $67.3 million direct offering to institutional investors. That purchase raised its total Ethereum holdings to 120,306 ETH, which is currently worth around $450 million, based on prices tracked by CoinGecko. This places Bit Digital among the top publicly listed companies holding Ethereum. The only two with bigger ETH treasuries are Bitmine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming . Bit Digital isn’t new to crypto, but it used to focus on Bitcoin mining. That’s no longer the case. The firm has turned its attention entirely to Ethereum, building what it sees as a treasury model for a new financial era. Chief Executive Officer Sam Tabar explained the company’s position in a statement. “With approximately 120,000 ETH, Bit Digital is positioned among the largest institutional Ethereum treasuries in the public markets,” Sam said. “We view Ethereum as foundational to the next phase of digital financial infrastructure. We believe Ethereum’s programmable nature, growing adoption, and staking yield model represent the future of digital assets, and we remain committed to scaling our ETH holdings as part of that long-term strategy.” Bit Digital isn’t just holding Ethereum in cold storage; it’s using it. The company operates validators on the Ethereum network and stakes the majority of its ETH. That means it earns yield directly from the network while helping secure it. Ethereum has evolved from just another coin to a full-blown settlement layer used in stablecoins, tokenized assets, and decentralized applications. Bit Digital sees that and is locking in a position in it. The company sees Ethereum as the infrastructure layer for what it calls the “onchain economy.” ETH’s staking yield, programmability, and adoption rate are key factors in why Bit Digital has chosen to treat it as a strategic treasury asset. The network supports real activity, not just speculation. The firm believes this is how value will move and settle across markets in the coming years.

Memecoins linked to metal legend Ozzy Osbourne and wrestling icon Hulk Hogan soared following their deaths in a rally driven by nostalgia and speculative trading. Terry Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, passed away after a heart attack, while Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76. Hulk Hogan, Ozzy Osbourne Meme Coins Soar Memecoins inspired by and paying tribute to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne skyrocketed as tributes over their deaths flooded the internet. Hogan was pronounced dead in a hospital on Thursday after medics arrived at his home to answer for a possible cardiac arrest. Hogan’s death comes only days after Ozzy Osbourne, the frontman of legendary metal band Black Sabbath, passed away at home at the age of 76. Hulk Hogan was easily the most famous wrestler in the WWF, now WWE, during the 80s and 90s. Hogan’s career spanned decades as he wowed audiences in the ring and across television and film. On the other hand, Ozzy Osbourne, often called the Prince of Darkness, was one of the most legendary figures in the rock and metal world. Osbourne and Black Sabbath are estimated to have sold 75 million albums globally. The crypto industry paid tribute to the two legends in its own unique way. A Wrapped Ethereum (wETH) token called Hulkamania (HULK) rose a staggering 122,000%, trading around $0.001335 at its peak. According to data from DEXTools, the memecoin was created only hours ago. Meanwhile, other memecoins using Ozzy Osbourne’s name have also popped up. One token, called The Mad Man (OZZY), pumped over 16,800% to trade around $0.003851, reaching a market cap of nearly $4 million. Ozzy’s passing also created a furore in the NFT market as fans rushed to get their hands on one of his official CryptoBatz collections. Another Hogan Token Hulk Hogan-inspired memecoins are nothing new. A Solana-based memecoin, HULKAMANIA (HULK), launched in June last year. The token has surged over 2,000% in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.0006146, reaching a market capitalization of $500,000. Despite the recent spike, the memecoin is far from its peak market cap of $18.8 million. The rally happened after Hogan promoted the token on his X account. However, the posts were later deleted, and Hogan claimed he didn’t make the posts. Fans Driven By Emotion And FOMO Most individuals bought the memecoins due to the fear of missing out (FOMO) and strong emotions. One crypto analyst stated, “It’s sad how quickly people turn grief into a trading opportunity.” This is not the first time the crypto market has exploded with memecoins following the death of a famous personality. Memecoins using the name of O.J. Simpson appeared in the market soon after he passed away. Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger’s death in November 2023 also spawned memecoins, several of them in bad taste. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool has suggested that, despite Bitcoin’s ( BTC ) current bullish run, there is a plausible chance the asset could crash below $100,000 in the coming weeks. According to OpenAI’s ChatGPT , Bitcoin, currently around $117,000, is hovering near critical support at $116,000. A breakdown below this level could send it to $105,000 and $108,000, with sub-$100,000 levels possible by August or early September 2025 if support fails. The AI model highlighted key risks that could accelerate a Bitcoin sell-off, including a slowdown in spot ETF inflows and a broader U.S. market correction. Notably, Bitcoin ETF inflows have been a key factor in the asset’s momentum, contributing to the record high of over $123,000. At the close of trading on June 25, the spot Bitcoin ETFs saw an inflow of $130.8 million. At the same time, as reported by Finbold, Citi analysts predict a base case of $135,000 for Bitcoin by the end of 2025 if inflows persist; however, the bank also warned that the asset could crash to as low as $64,000. ChatGPT also noted that both scenarios could put additional pressure on Bitcoin prices, especially as the cryptocurrency’s correlation with the S&P 500 has increased in recent months. Further downside could also stem from unpredictable events such as exchange hacks or sudden regulatory crackdowns, which have historically triggered panic sell-offs. The AI model emphasized that, although the exact timing remains uncertain, investors should be aware of a 30% to 40% probability that Bitcoin could fall below $100,000 between August and September 2025. Probability of Bitcoin crashing below $100,000. Source: ChatGPT Bitcoin’s key price level to watch Meanwhile, cryptocurrency trading expert Michaël van de Poppe also highlighted the significance of Bitcoin holding above $116,000. In an X post on July 26, Poppe stated that the $116,800 level is the key battleground for bulls. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: TradingView According to his analysis, maintaining support above this threshold could set the stage for a push toward new all-time highs in the coming week. Notably, there is strong liquidity below the $116,000 level, which has been tested multiple times, suggesting buyers are actively defending the zone. Therefore, if Bitcoin can establish a stable base above $116,800, the market may target the $119,900 resistance zone. However, if BTC dips, the $110,000 to $112,000 range is highlighted as a prime accumulation zone, offering a potentially strong risk-reward opportunity for long-term investors. Bitcoin price analysis At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $117,970, having gained about 1% in the last 24 hours. Over the past week, the asset is down 0.76%. Bitcoin seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold As things stand, Bitcoin seems to be on track to reclaim the $120,000 mark after briefly facing the threat of dropping below $115,000 on July 25. Therefore, as long as the $115,000 support holds, there is room for the leading cryptocurrency to target higher prices.

US President Donald Trump gave confusing signals regarding dollar policy in his statements. While Trump stated that he was in favor of a strong dollar, saying, “I would never support a weak dollar,” he also talked about the economic advantages that a low exchange rate provides to the US manufacturing industry. “I would never say I like low exchange rates. I'm someone who likes a strong dollar. But a weak dollar can make you more money,” Trump said. These statements came at a time when markets were speculating that he was actively supporting his administration's weak dollar policy. Related News: Analytics Firm Issues Warning: Unusual Data Coming in Bitcoin Options - Here's What It Signals Asked if he was concerned about the US dollar's continued decline, Trump replied, “I like a strong dollar,” then quickly added, “But I don't lose sleep over it.” The president also specifically noted that the manufacturing sector benefits from a weak dollar. Trump said, “A strong dollar has its consequences. It looks good from the outside, but no one comes to travel. You can't sell factories, trucks, or anything. A strong dollar is only good for controlling inflation, that's all. We don't have inflation anyway; we've completely eliminated it.” *This is not investment advice.

The post Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Explains Why Hidden Road Is Key to DeFi Growth appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Ripple is quietly building a powerhouse in decentralized finance (DeFi), and its latest acquisition, Hidden Road, is taking center stage. CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently highlighted how the firm is transforming access to both traditional finance and crypto markets, and it’s moving fast. Hidden Road Opens DeFi to Wall Street Hidden Road, now under Ripple’s wing, is not just any prime broker. It acts as a “one-stop shop” for institutional players, from hedge funds to market makers, offering seamless access to digital assets, derivatives, and swaps. Garlinghouse emphasized that such firms historically relied on traditional banks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. But now, Hidden Road is bridging the old world of finance with the new decentralized economy. Backed by strong capital and a solid balance sheet, Hidden Road is becoming a key player in helping financial institutions enter the crypto space. Garlinghouse believes this is just the beginning, with more prime brokers likely to follow suit as DeFi becomes an institutional norm. Big XRP Transfers Spark Buzz Alongside the Hidden Road update, Ripple has moved over $108 million in XRP, 35 million tokens in a single transaction. According to XRPwallets , this was an internal Ripple-to-Ripple movement, likely tied to products like ETPS, trusts, or other investments. Earlier this week, Ripple had also moved over 600 million XRP in similar large transactions, initially triggering whale rumors but later clarified as strategic movements within Ripple’s ecosystem. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Ripple News: Nasdaq Firm Files $50M Plan to Integrate XRP into Core Operations , The Bigger Picture Moreover, Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road is proving to be a game-changer for its push toward global adoption. With this, XRP can be positioned as a core settlement asset, and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin can be used as collateral, strengthening liquidity and real-world utility on the XRP Ledger. This move not only enhances Ripple’s credibility in the financial world but also accelerates real institutional use of its blockchain technology . With XRP trading near $3 despite recent volatility, and Ripple positioning itself at the center of institutional crypto adoption, the stage is being set for Ripple’s ecosystem to play a major role in the next wave of DeFi growth. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

The post Next 10x Cryptos: Shiba Inu (SHIB), Cardano (ADA), and 2 Other Coins Under $5 to Make $20,000 from $2,000 in Just Weeks appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Crypto cycles are often defined by surprise breakouts, the kind where a humble $2,000 stash transforms into $20,000 almost overnight. In this upcoming wave, four standout tokens—Shiba Inu (SHIB), Cardano (ADA), Little Pepe (LILPEPE) , and Pepe Coin (PEPE)- are shaping up to be the rocket fuel many investors have been waiting for. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Meme-Driven With Realistic Targets Shiba Inu may have once ridden the wave of its meme-coin origins, but these days, its narrative is evolving. Analysts at CoinPedia anticipate that SHIB will rise to $0.0000639 by the end of 2025. For holders, that represents a 4–5x move. While it won’t multiply tenfold overnight, it’s a solid play for those looking for asymmetric returns with a layer of credibility, especially if its burn mechanisms and DeFi integrations gain traction. At a current price under $0.000015, a $500 stake could approach $2,500 by the end of next year. That’s sounding a lot more like $20,000 if SHIB enters a broader altcoin surge. Cardano (ADA): Blue-Chip, Emerging Breakout Cardano built its reputation through conviction and consistency. With its peer-reviewed approach and decentralized applications slowly coming together, ADA is shaking off stagnation. According to InvestingHaven, ADA could reach $1.88 in 2025 and even stretch to $2.36 in bullish trend lines. Benzinga sees an average 2025 price near $0.945. Though ADA might not offer 10x in isolation, its low entry point below $1 means allocating $500 could yield a respectable return while adding balance to your portfolio. If the broader surge extends into 2026 and beyond, hitting $20,000 off a small stake isn’t outside the realm of possibility, especially with ADA quietly playing catch-up. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Token With Layers Little Pepe has graduated from meme status to a next-generation, Layer-2 project, and its metrics show it. The token has already covered six presale stages and is now heading into stage seven at $0.0016 per token, having raised over $8.7 million in just under two months. What distinguishes LILPEPE isn’t just timing. It combines viral meme culture with vital technical substance: speedy, low-fee Ethereum-based transactions, anti-snipe safeguards, and a zero-tax policy for seamless trading. Almost $9 million has been raised in ongoing presales, reflecting growing community confidence. If LILPEPE launches and gains traction—thanks to planned CEX listings or its memes launchpad—it could realistically attain 100x in a strong bull cycle. $200 buys 125,000 tokens at $0.0016; if the token value hits $0.16, that becomes $20,000 in weeks. That’s not fantasy—it’s the kind of breakout narrative driving meme cycles today. Pepe Coin (PEPE): OG Frog With Altcoin Momentum Almost every trader has had at least a passing love affair with Pepe Coin. Launched during the early meme coin craze, PEPE holds strong community backing and potential for a surprise run. After clearing key resistance levels, analysts now have their eyes on the $0.000020, which offers up to 9% upside in the short term. While 10x here might require broader market participation, traders preparing for a genuine alt-season might find PEPE’s current $0.000013 price point offers room for serious upside. A $200 investment could grow to $2,000 easily, setting a platform for bigger swings once meme mania returns. Why Now Feels Different This isn’t about chasing a generic meme rally—it’s about behavior, ecosystem response, and timing alignment. LILPEPE is already in motion, presales are filling fast, and the community is energized. SHIB has matured meme engines; ADA is quietly gearing up; PEPE remains a cautionary yet potent player. The coming weeks could see a domino effect: LILPEPE gains more steam, meme markets warm, and larger holders start moving capital across major and minor altcoins. If Bitcoin or Ethereum coils into a breakout, the entire cycle gets pulled up—and that’s where the first $2,000 could morph into $20,000. Conclusion Beyond sheer luck, enjoying crypto gains depends on conviction and execution. This combination of tokens offers a balanced, high-upside spread grounded in reality, yet primed for explosive moves. If the market maintains a risk-on bullish outlook, the next few weeks could rewrite the stories of many portfolios. In crypto, opportunity barrels in fast. But being ready, diversified, and strategic is what sets visionaries apart. Here’s to the next 10x.

Crypto enthusiast Satoshi Scope has drawn attention to the divergent approaches taken by the United States and the United Kingdom toward Ripple and the digital asset XRP. In a recent thread titled “The XRP Bank of England Conspiracy: Was Ripple Always Crown-Approved?”, Satoshi Scope contrasts Ripple’s legal challenges in the U.S. with what he describes as strategic integration into the UK’s central banking initiatives. The thread opens with a direct juxtaposition: while the United States pursued a lawsuit against Ripple, the United Kingdom gave it what he described as “a seat at the table.” Scope revisits a lesser-known event from 2017, when the Bank of England conducted a technical trial of Ripple’s payment solution, RippleNet, as part of its research into modernizing the real-time gross settlement (RTGS). This was a period before central bank digital currencies (CBDCs ) were widely discussed, and according to Scope, the UK’s early interest in Ripple was motivated by its ambition to build a financial system beyond the SWIFT messaging network. THREAD: The $XRP Bank of England Conspiracy: Was Ripple Always Crown-Approved? The U.S. sued Ripple. The UK gave it a seat at the table. What does the Bank of England know about XRP… that they’re not telling you? Open Thread pic.twitter.com/2fELLgDO1I — Satoshi Scope (@scopesatoshi) July 24, 2025 RippleNet and the UK’s RTGS Trials Satoshi Scope argues that the Bank of England’s engagement with Ripple was not a generic pilot but a deliberate evaluation of RippleNet’s ability to facilitate high-speed, transparent, and liquid settlement systems. He points out that while U.S. regulators began treating Ripple with suspicion and launched enforcement actions via the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Bank of England was moving in the opposite direction, reportedly building its future system on similar principles enabled by Ripple’s technology.

According to Scope, this membership signified an elevated role for Ripple in helping shape the digital version of the British pound. He notes that the Foundation includes influential members such as the CGI Group, Accenture, Quant, and Avalanche—firms with key roles in designing or deploying digital financial infrastructure in the UK. Timeline and Theory Proposed by Satoshi Scope Satoshi Scope lays out a timeline of events he believes support his position. In 2017, the Bank of England conducted RTGS tests with RippleNet. By 2021, Ripple had joined the advisory group working on the digital pound . And by 2023, Ripple was involved in CBDC pilots with several sovereign nations, including Palau, Bhutan, and Montenegro. Despite these developments, XRP remains under regulatory pressure in the United States. According to Scope, this contradiction is not a matter of policy uncertainty, but one of geopolitical strategy. He concludes that what is being presented as regulatory oversight is, in his view, territorial financial control. He claims that while U.S. institutions sidelined XRP, UK institutions began embedding it in their future financial architecture. He adds that Ripple’s work may have played a foundational role in Britain’s post-SWIFT planning and the architecture of a central bank-backed digital currency.

South Korea is trying to secure a mutual trade package with President Donald Trump before August 1, when U.S. tariffs on Korean exports are set to snap back to 25%. The presidential office in Seoul said on Saturday that officials are preparing a deal they hope both countries can agree on ahead of minister-level meetings next week. This effort comes as the Trump administration wraps up trade talks with Japan and the Philippines, and sets its sights on China and the EU next . According to Reuters, the new trade package will include shipbuilding cooperation, which has become a key talking point between U.S. and South Korean officials. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick raised the issue on Friday during talks with Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan. Their meeting followed one held on Thursday, where both Lutnick and Kim agreed to reach a trade deal by the deadline. A larger joint meeting with finance and trade chiefs had been scheduled for Friday but was postponed without a new date. Talks intensify as South Korea tries to avoid steep U.S. tariffs South Korea’s delegation is under pressure. Officials want a deal that isn’t worse than what Japan got earlier this week. Tokyo secured a 15% tariff cap, and Seoul is aiming for something at least as good. National Security Adviser Wi Sung-lac recently flew to the U.S. for direct talks, and Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo is also on the ground. The urgency is clear. If talks collapse, South Korea’s exports to the U.S. will face the full 25% tariff starting next Thursday. Negotiations so far have covered non-tariff barriers , especially in agriculture and digital services, though officials say foreign exchange hasn’t been seriously included in the talks. While Trump’s team juggles multiple negotiations, South Korea is still trying to get its deal over the finish line. Two more key meetings are lined up for next week: Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol will meet Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Foreign Minister Cho Hyun will speak with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Back home, South Korea’s economic performance is giving negotiators a little breathing room—but not much. Preliminary data shows the economy grew 0.6% in the last quarter, beating the 0.5% estimate from Reuters. That’s also a rebound from the 0.2% drop recorded in the first quarter. Over the year, the GDP rose 0.5%, better than the 0.4% many expected. South Korean exports carry growth as AI, semiconductors keep moving Growth came from exports. The Bank of Korea reported that exports of both goods and services rose 4.2% quarter over quarter, helped by semiconductors, petroleum, and chemical products. “Net exports were the principal driver of growth,” said Louise Loo, who leads Asia economics at Oxford Economics. She said companies had been pushing out shipments ahead of expected changes to U.S. trade rules, including tariffs. But it’s not all smooth. Shivaan Tandon, a markets economist at Capital Economics, said that while demand for chips and AI tech might help, South Korea’s other exports could struggle if global trade slows further. He warned that sectors not tied to AI might soon feel the squeeze if tariffs go back into effect. Trade matters for South Korea’s economy, since as of December 2024, exports made up 44% of GDP, with the U.S. ranked as the second-largest export destination, based on World Bank data. But there are limits to what Seoul is willing to offer. On Thursday, Reuters reported that the finance ministry canceled a planned meeting with Bessent due to scheduling issues. Still, both sides said they’d try to meet “as soon as possible.” In the meantime, Yonhap News said South Korean officials have ruled out any changes to beef and rice imports as part of the negotiation. Those topics are seen as politically sensitive, and Seoul isn’t using them as trade-offs. KEY Difference Wire helps crypto brands break through and dominate headlines fast
