Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe from winter into the current season. That doesn’t necessarily mean put away all sweaters and coats, because as we know spring can be very fickle. But there are a few tricks to making those winter-looks more spring friendly.
Transitional Coats: Last week I talked about transitional coats, and these are the perfect items to add into your wardrobe right now. Lightweight, but will still keep you warm on a cool night. Spring Sweaters: Layer with a transitional coat, or wear on its own, some of your winter sweaters are easy to wear into spring. I lived in these cashmere sweaters from Everlane all winter, and I know I’ll be pairing them with skirts and shorts for spring. Pumps instead of Boots: I’ve traded in my boots for pumps. Keeping my feet warm isn’t a priority anymore, so it’s time to break out my favorite heels and pair back to effortless denim. These pumps have been worth the investment – I wear them the most during spring.
Donald Trump announced today that he’s instituting a 90-day pause on all tariffs except those on China. Bitcoin has surged over $80,000, while altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano surged more than 10% in just minutes of the announcement.
The Dow Jones and stock market reacted similarly, surging by 2,000 points after the news. The US President has now added a total of 125% tariff on China, while pausing others.
Today, however, Trump has made a surprising reversal. Although he is increasing tariffs against China to 125%, he is repealing those on other nations.
Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off…

This news immediately caused a substantial rally in the markets. At 1:30 PM Eastern Time, the Dow Jones responded by shooting upwards over 2000 points, and this was mirrored in other high-profile stocks.

Still, the erratic nature of Trump’s tariff strategy has left more than a few open questions. In his announcement, Trump only mentioned China’s retaliation strategy by name, lumping all other countries together.
However, a few crucial markets, like the EU, also retaliated. It is currently unclear how Trump will treat other actors, as China is his main target.
Open questions like this may continue to cause market uncertainty. As analyst Joe Wiesenthal pointed out, Trump has already caused a lot of economic chaos with his tariff threats alone.
Will he retaliate against nations other than China? Will former allies continue pulling away from the US? These live questions may frustrate long-term economic gain
Airdrop activity continues to heat up, with three newly launched tokens—SXT, RIZE, and DOOD—drawing investor attention in the fourth week of May. Space and Time launched its SXT token with an airdrop as a part of the new Chainlink rewards program.
Meanwhile, RIZE powers the Rizenet ecosystem, which is focused on tokenization and decentralized AI. DOOD, the native token of the Doodles NFT collection, joins the wave of NFT projects following the footsteps of APE and PENGU.
Space and Time (SXT)
The latest Space and Time (SXT) airdrop launched on May 8, 2025, as part of its official token generation event (TGE). The airdrop is integrated with Binance Launchpool and Chainlink’s new Rewards program.
The project is distributing 200 million SXT tokens into two batches, representing 4% of the total supply. Eligible users include participants in the Chainlink ecosystem, including LINK stakers, users who engaged in Space and Time’s testnet, and held Community NFTs.
Also, the SXT airdrop claim will be live until June 22.
SXT has been down since its airdrop, and if the correction continues, it could soon start trading below $0.10.
It needs a strong buying pressure to return to levels around $0.126, and if that one is broken, it could rise back to test the resistance around $0.163.
RIZE
RIZE is the native utility token of Rizenet, a decentralized platform for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), decentralized AI (DeAI), and DeFi.
The $RIZE token has multiple uses. It pays for tokenization services, grants access to tokenized assets, enables governance through token locking, and rewards contributions to decentralized AI models. RIZE is currently live on Kraken and Aerodrome.
From a technical standpoint, the RIZE token is at a critical point. If it manages to break through the resistance level at $0.064, bullish momentum could drive the price back toward the $0.10 region.
However, failure to maintain its current support at $0.0485 may trigger a downside move, with potential losses extending below the $0.040 mark.
Doodles
Doodles is a well-known NFT collection that originally gained popularity for its colorful, hand-drawn characters and strong community engagement.
It recently launched its own token, DOOD, marking its entry into the growing trend of NFT-native tokens—a path first carved out by Bored Ape Yacht Club with APE and later followed by Pudgy Penguins with the PENGU token in 2024.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the DOOD airdrop, the token has struggled to maintain upward momentum, falling 35% over the last five days.
The price now faces a key resistance at $0.0052—breaking above this level would be necessary to signal a potential recovery and open the door for a move toward $0.00735.
However, continued bearish pressure could push DOOD below the $0.0040 support, marking new lows and further eroding market confidence.
