US President Donald Trump is in the news again — and so is his tariff timepass game. On May 22, he had announced a plan for a 50% tariff on goods imported from the European Union and a 25% duty on Apple products produced elsewhere in the globe. It was an earthquake to the global financial systems like a storm. Within a matter of days, the S&P 500 dropped by $1.5 trillion in market capitalization. Meanwhile, Bitcoin too started plummeting after hitting a record high.

The European Union was quick to respond, declaring trade negotiations should be based on respect, not threats. But the warning from Trump is clear — either the EU boosts investment in the US or faces higher import duties from June 1, 2025. Also, this is not the first time Trump has played this game. 
Past Trump Tariffs Hit the Crypto Market and Economy
February 2025: Trump began the month by announcing import duties on China, Canada, and Mexico. In response, China added extra taxes on US oil, coal, vehicles, and farm goods. The result? Within a day of confirmation, the global crypto fell by 7.91%, dropping to $2.88 trillion.
April 2025: Things escalated when China raised tariffs on US products from 84% to 125%. This sparked fear in global markets. The crypto sector again took a direct hit — falling by 2.17% in market cap to $2.45 trillion. Trading volume also dropped sharply by 16.02%.
This pattern is repeating: each time a tariff is imposed, the economy weakens, and investors start pulling out of high-risk assets — especially digital assets like Bitcoin.
Trump Tariff Talk Triggers Crypto Market Crash
Here’s what happened immediately after Trump’s new tariff threat:
S&P 500 dropped: As per The Kobeissi Letter, S&P 500 dropped by $1.5 trillion in market cap within five days. Stocks like Apple fell 7.49%, Nvidia dropped 4.29%, and Tesla slipped 2.85%.

Bitcoin Price Crash: Bitcoin price fell hard after hitting a fresh all-time high of $111,970.17. It dropped to $108,243.66 — a sharp 2.47% fall in 24 hours. Its market cap now stands at $2.15 trillion with a trading volume of $64.75 billion. The global crypto also declined by nearly 3%, currently sitting at a cap of $3.41 trillion.
Kalshi Market Prediction: According to Kalshi predictions, the chances of a US recession rose from 36% to 39% in just one week, and from 22% to 69% over three months.

This shows a clear pattern — tariff announcements are hitting the economy and industry confidence directly. And crypto is among the first sectors to bleed.
Crypto Bloodbath in the Making? 
Being engaged with the crypto industry for the past five years, I think that this situation is worrying. I’ve seen how quickly fear spreads in this space — and Trump’s new tariff talk is fueling it again.
What makes it worse is that this isn’t just about taxes or trade deals anymore — it’s about trust, investor confidence, and market stability. With tech stocks falling, and whispers of a coming recession, the digital market space might see a big drop soon.
Personally, I feel that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even popular tokens like XRP could face a major correction if this situation escalates. Also, S&P 500, NASDAQ, other index, and economic markets may experience a sudden crash. It’s not just the actual tariffs — it’s the fear that comes with them that causes damage.
Conclusion
It may sound like a joke, but it’s not far from reality — for Donald Trump, playing the tariff card might be more than policy; it feels like a “timepass” move that has real-world consequences. And every time he plays this game, the economy, crypto, and sectors get bruised.
