$BTC Bitcoin in times of trade war: BTG sees strategic window to position itself in the world's largest cryptocurrency

BTG Pactual's report analyzes the impacts of tariffs on the cryptocurrency market and points out that there is still room for investors to profit, even amid volatility.

Calm seas never made a good sailor — and when it comes to navigating market storms, cryptocurrency investors are already seasoned from the clouds of volatility.

The trade war scenario between China and the United States and the new wave of tariffs initiated by Donald Trump pose risks to both traditional and less orthodox markets. Nonetheless, according to a report by BTG Pactual, the moment can be strategic for crypto-assets, hiding valuable opportunities.

Amid the uncertainties of recent days, analysts see signs of resilience in the crypto market, with a focus on bitcoin (BTC).

According to the document, in adverse economic times, the asset tends to initially follow the decline of traditional markets, but historically tends to recover with above-average intensity.

Despite the recent devaluation, which led BTC to lose 30% compared to its historical highs, the asset reached a new record when compared to the “Magnificent 7” index, which reflects the performance of the seven largest technology companies.

And bitcoin is not alone. The advancement of decentralized finance (DeFi) and the growth of stablecoins have also caught analysts' attention. For them, these mechanisms represent increasingly viable alternatives for financial transactions less subject to trade barriers.
