Crypto news to know

Donald Trump is set to announce new 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, escalating trade tensions.

Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump confirmed the tariffs would be unveiled on Monday, with reciprocal tariffs following later in the week.

Meanwhile, the Central African Republic has launched a meme coin called $CAR in an effort to raise the country’s global profile.

President Faustin-Archange Touadera described it as an ‘experiment’ to showcase how a meme-based token can support national development.

The launch follows the country’s previous adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. However, an official account for $CAR updates was suspended by X on Monday, and the government is working to restore it.

The token was trading at US$0.22 as of Monday (February 10) morning.
