March 2025 in charts: Trade wars, Bitcoin chaos, and DeFi hacks galore

Chart of chaos

March blew through the crypto world like one of those Arctic winds you can’t escape — biting cold, unapologetic, and seemingly endless. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies sowed chaos, turning Bitcoin into a rollercoaster fit for thrill-seekers, while decentralized finance (DeFi) continued to be ravaged by its all-too-familiar nemesis: hackers. And yes, someone grabbed the popcorn 🍿 — naturally, it wasn’t us.

Litecoin: Will It Bounce Back Or Bust? 🤔

Look here, just yesterday Litecoin was caught hangin’ around $81, down more than 5% in a flash. Couple weeks ago, it was knocking at $140 like it was fixin’ to move into the big leagues—that very level it tickled last December. But here’s the kicker: it’s doubling down on failure, forming what fancy folks call a “double-top” chart pattern. Sounds mighty technical, but it’s just another way to say, “This ain’t lookin’ good, folks!”

Crypto Crackdown! Are They Nuts?! 🤪

Those Republican fellas are hustling to deliver stablecoin and market structure bills to President Trump before their summer vacation—just four months away! Four months! They think they can do it in four months? I need four months just to find my car keys! Although no one’s actually seen this market structure bill yet, rumors are swirling that something’s cooking behind closed doors. This “revised” draft supposedly builds on flops like the Fit for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), which somehow squeezed through the House last year, and that Responsible Financial Innovation Act thingamajig by Senators Lummis and Gillibrand. Responsible? Innovate? They should try stand-up comedy! 😂
