On Monday, February 3, President Trump announced a temporary pause to 25% tariffs for Mexican and Canadian goods.<\/p>\n Mexico agreed to send 10,000 Mexican troops to the Mexico-US border to stop fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration.

However, uncertainty remains as China faces 10% tariffs starting February 4 at 05:01 GMT, unless a last-minute deal is reached.<\/p>\n The US BTC-spot ETF market highlighted investor sensitivity to policy shifts.

There may also be updates on Senator Cynthia Lummis\u2019 Bitcoin Act.<\/p>\n Senator Cynthia Lummis, Chair of the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets, introduced the Bitcoin Act in late 2024. Senator Lummis proposed the US government acquire one million BTC over five years, with a mandatory holding period of 20 years.<\/p>\n Congress, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Department, and the President must approve<\/a> a strategic reserve asset.<\/p>\n On Monday, February 3, BTC advanced by 3.78%, reversing Sunday\u2019s 3.13% loss, closing at $101,580.
