🇺🇸 Trump's Tariff Policies and Their Implications

In April 2025, Trump declared "Liberation Day," introducing a sweeping tariff policy:

A 10% universal tariff on imports from all countries, excluding Canada and Mexico.

Additional "reciprocal" tariffs targeting approximately 60 countries, with rates up to 54% on Chinese goods.

These measures aim to address trade imbalances but have raised concerns about potential inflation and economic slowdown.

📉 Impact on Cryptocurrency Markets

The crypto market has experienced heightened volatility in response to these tariffs:

Bitcoin surged past $100,000 following a U.S.-U.K. trade deal but later declined to around $102,771 after a temporary pause in U.S.-China tariffs.

Ethereum and Solana saw drops of 3.4% and 2.5%, respectively, while $XRP rose by 3.4%.

A significant sell-off occurred when tariffs were first announced, with Bitcoin falling from approximately $109,000 to $91,000, and over $2 billion in crypto assets sold in a single day.

These fluctuations reflect investor uncertainty and the sensitivity of crypto markets to geopolitical developments.

🌐 Broader Economic Context

The tariffs have not only affected crypto markets but also raised concerns about inflation and economic growth in the U.S. The Federal Reserve has warned that these policies could exacerbate inflation and hinder economic recovery.
