#TrumpTariffs

How do Trump’s new tariffs affect the crypto market? An analysis based on Binance data 📊**

Recently, U.S. President Trump announced new tariffs that include a baseline of 10% on all imports, with increases of up to 145% on certain Chinese goods. This move has triggered a wave of volatility in global markets, including the crypto market.

**Impact of tariffs on Bitcoin and digital assets:

1️⃣ **Correlation with traditional markets**: In the early days of the announcement, the value of BTC dropped by 15% as U.S. indices like NASDAQ fell.

2️⃣ **Shift to "safe haven": In the long term, investors began to view Bitcoin as a digital gold alternative, especially with rising inflation and a weakening dollar.

3️⃣ **Mining costs: Tariffs may raise the prices of imported mining equipment, increasing network centralization and affecting decentralization.

**Data from Binance shows:**

- A 25% increase in $BTC trading volume after the announcement over 30 days, indicating increased demand as a hedge against risks.

- Growing institutional interest in digital assets as part of a diversification strategy.

**Conclusion:**

While tariffs have caused short-term volatility, they may enhance Bitcoin’s position as a long-term investment asset amid trade policy instability. 📈
