Trump tariffs, meme coins, and $120K Bitcoin? Bitget CEO breaks it all down
The post Trump tariffs, meme coins, and $120K Bitcoin? Bitget CEO breaks it all down appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In the midst of a roaring bull market, the crypto biggies are monitoring regulations before making their next move. We sat down with Bitget CEO Gracy Chen for an exclusive interview where she opened up about the crypto exchange’s rapid ascent, and why political headwinds like Trump-era tariffs might be reshaping digital tokens’ adoption in unexpected ways.

Retail users currently dominate volume, but Chen says 2025 will mark a pivot. “Institutional clients and VIPs are our focus. We’ll see a lot more of their volume this year.” Post-Trump, pro-crypto? Chen offered a panoramic view of global crypto regulation,…
