War In Ukraine: Trump Mentions A 50% Tax On Russian Oil
In the face of the stalemate of the conflict in Ukraine, Donald Trump is changing his tone and threatening Moscow with a heavy economic blow. The American president, until now measured towards the Kremlin, is now wielding the card of tariff sanctions on Russian oil. Indeed, the stated goal is to compel Vladimir Putin to move towards a ceasefire. A shocking statement that fractures diplomatic balances and elicits reactions even in European capitals, at a time when the slightest tension can redefine the global geopolitical chessboard.
In a televised statement broadcast by NBC News, Donald Trump announced that he was considering imposing new taxes on Russia in the event of failed negotiations for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
The American president, often perceived as conciliatory towards Vladimir Putin, has raised his voice this time:
If Russia and I cannot reach an agreement to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I believe that it is Russia’s fault, I will impose secondary tariffs on oil.
He specified that these taxes could rise to “25% to 50%”, depending on the extent of the blockages in discussions.
Here are the key points of this announcement:
This media appearance marks a turning point in Trump’s communication regarding the Ukrainian issue. It fits into a logic of maximum pressure, mobilizing American economic tools to influence the outcome of a conflict with major geostrategic implications.
More than just a warning, Donald Trump’s comments were triggered by a controversial Russian proposal: to create a transitional government in Kiev. An idea described as “not the right direction” by the American president, who sees in this initiative an unacceptable attempt at political manipulation.
This rejection marks a new red line in relations between the two powers and reflects a hardening of exchanges. The tone is rising between the two leaders whose relations had until now been marked by a certain tactical cordiality.
This American stance has provoked mixed international reactions. On the European side, several officials fear that a hasty ceasefire could favor a reconstitution of Russian forces and rekindle threats against NATO countries.
Far from being a diplomatic advance, this rhetorical escalation could conversely complicate mediation efforts. If Russia decides to respond to these threats by adapting its exports to other areas, or by tightening its energy alliances with China or India, it is the global balance of the oil market that could waver.
The follow-up to this diplomatic confrontation remains uncertain, but the intentions are clear: Trump wants to influence the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict by wielding the economic threat. It remains to be seen whether this tariff pressure strategy will convince Moscow to yield ground or whether it will only further radicalize positions. For markets as well as for governments, the time is now for caution and observation of the upcoming developments of this high-intensity energy duel, in a context where Trump confirms his protectionist policy .

Bitcoin’s NFT and Layer 2 Dreams Just Met a Harsh Reality
Last year, some dreamed of perverting Bitcoin with flashy NFTs, magical layers 2, and convoluted re-staking. Purists were outraged, arguing that BTC should be left alone. Should we have waited? Clearly yes: today, these crypto whims are almost extinguished. While the fires of innovation crackled, the hype has subsided. But what remains of these promises now vanished?
In the crypto universe, certain concepts have a habit of dancing and then taking their bow. Such is the case of Ordinals, these Bitcoin NFTs that made wallets vibrate. In 2024, their volume reached 1.4 billion dollars. In 2025? Barely 280 million. A free fall of 80%.
The same fate for Bitcoin’s layers 2: at the beginning of 2024, more than 80 projects tried to charm investors and the media. Six months later, the soufflé has collapsed. “It was overestimated from the start,” confides Charlie Hu, co-founder of Bitlayer.
Also lagging behind: re-staking, this clumsy innovation now reduced to two or three survivors. Muneeb Ali, founder of Stacks, drives the nail home : “the honeymoon is over.”
Crypto entrepreneurs are starting to speak the truth. Too late?
Has the crypto market become allergic to its own excesses?
However, amidst the debris of hype, one idea seems to hold its ground: Bitcoin DeFi. Some envision it as a more solid alternative, less flashy. Dominik Harz (Build on Bitcoin) states it bluntly :
The Bitcoin DeFi has not yet taken off.
To date, 0.3% of Bitcoin’s market cap fuels DeFi uses, compared to 30% for Ethereum. A chasm of x100.
But the foundations are there. Thanks to technologies like zkBTC, transactions are becoming ultra-fast, low-cost, and programmable. The future? Perhaps in the fusion between the Bitcoin blockchain and the agility of DeFi.
Some, like @SamaAlbert90, already speak of a “new financial era“.
The prediction of the BitcoinOS CEO? A DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin valued at $10 billion if Ethereum stumbles. And why not? If layers 2 become performance-serving architectural tools, investments could follow.
Is the flagship crypto ready to become a base for sustainable financial innovations?
The cold war continues between Bitcoin and Ethereum, each camp holding onto its ambitions. Ethereum is preparing its “Hoodi” update , crucial for its scalability. If it fails, Bitcoin could scoop the pot. It would be a turning point. With its new technical layers (zkRollups, EVM compatible), Bitcoin offers attractive solutions.
Maxwell Sanchez (Hemi Labs) reminds us that copying and pasting Ethereum’s tech is not enough: “It must adapt to the very core of Bitcoin.” Translation: there’s no need to force a square into a round hole. The Bitcoin network must grow in its own way.
On Ethereum’s side, the pressure is high. Every major update is a risky promise. The complexity of “Hoodi” could create more problems than solutions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is refining its vision, developing its layer 2 protocols, and waiting for its rival’s misstep.
Who will win the duel of the titans in the crypto market? The one who convinces developers, users, and investors over the long term. And you, who are you betting on?
Despite their apparent discredit, Bitcoin’s layers 2 could very well explode . A recent report from the Spartan Group discusses their explosive potential in the medium term… to be continued.
