The recent dip in the morning market actually points to an island in the North Atlantic. The US wants Greenland, but Europe is dead set against it. Trump directly revealed his cards: starting February 1st, a 10% tariff will be imposed on eight European countries, and by June, it will be pushed up to 25%, unless a "full acquisition" agreement is reached.

This script is indeed outrageous, but the market remains indifferent. Whenever a tariff signal appears, Bitcoin and Ethereum lead the decline—today the market dropped by 3%, with $600 million evaporating instantly. The spot holdings of ASTER and VIRTUAL also suffered, and any rebound was immediately extinguished.

The most ironic scene unfolded: while the crypto world was crying out in despair, gold and silver quietly hit new highs. This stark contrast vividly demonstrates an old adage—"In turbulent times, gold strengthens, risk assets are hammered."

Whenever there is a disturbance globally, the crypto market often becomes the first asset to be sold off. Meanwhile, traditional safe havens remain stable, as macro sentiment completely overrides technical factors at this moment. Interestingly, amid the panic selling, true DeFi builders have not stopped their work.

Lista DAO recently announced an intriguing transformation plan for 2026—they don’t intend to just stick to lending but aim to build a modular "Financial Lego" base. This builder mentality confirms that no matter how much noise there is, the value of infrastructure never dissipates.
