Speculation about Trump invoking the Insurrection Act on April 20, 2025, intensified market jitters, with protests escalating over his National Bitcoin Reserve plan, per NDTV reports. The 90-day period from his January 20 executive order ends today, prompting fears of military deployment along the southern border, as confirmed by the U.S. Department of Defense on January 22. This uncertainty, coupled with tariff impacts, has crypto investors on edge, with Bitcoin showing volatility.
Web discussions highlight a polarized response—pro-crypto advocates see potential for a bullish surge, while critics warn of authoritarian risks derailing decentralization. The lack of official confirmation leaves markets guessing, with analysts suggesting a resolution by day’s end could stabilize or crash prices. This pivotal moment could redefine U.S. crypto policy depending on Trump’s next move.
