Bitcoin is reclaiming its place among the favorite assets of thrill-seeking speculative traders. On Friday, the original digital currency surged the most in almost three years to recoup almost all of the losses registered during Thursday’s crypto market meltdown that had dragged the token down more than 50% from its October peak. The dizzying swings of around 13% have helped to reignite a jump in the volatility that traders traditionally relish because of the potential profit opportunities.

Glass House Analysis
International economic policy has concrete impacts far beyond diplomatic circles. Tariffs show up in the price of goods at stores, supply chain disruptions affect whether products are on shelves, and trade tensions can mean job losses in export-dependent industries. The globalized economy means that decisions made abroad can affect workers and consumers domestically.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
