After the U.S. and China announced a 90-day pause on tariffs, signaling a massive de-escalation of the trade wars, markets rallied.

In this week’s Bits + Bips, the panel covers the biggest macro and crypto forces in motion right now:

Will US-China tariff reset reshape the global economy, or just kick the can down the road?
America’s ballooning deficit and why politicians are spending like it’s wartime.
Why some think ETH has a unique lane to outperform.
How policymakers ignore the power of the crypto community at their own risk.
Plus: Saylor copycats, Solana’s risk-reward balance, and whether stagflation or recession is still in the cards.
