Trump reignites the trade war... Is crypto the refuge?
In a controversial move, former President Donald Trump announced his intention to reimpose strict tariffs if he wins the upcoming elections, including:
Tariffs of up to 60% on imports from China
Expanding tariffs on strategic goods from Europe and Mexico
Market reaction?
Stock markets experienced sharp fluctuations
Gold rose as a traditional safe haven
But notably: Bitcoin rose by 3% during the early hours

As protectionist policies escalate, the search for assets that are not subject to borders or controlled by governments increases… and here crypto emerges as a true hedging tool.
