"Cryptomarkets on alert: Trump shakes the board with a 50% tariff on the EU"
On June 1, 2025, President Trump plans to impose a 50% tariff on imports from the European Union, increasing global trade tensions. Trump's decision could have a significant impact on global markets, raising concerns about recession.
•How will Trump's 50% tariff affect cryptocurrencies in the EU?
The announcement of a 50% tariff by Trump on EU imports directly impacts the European economy, generating uncertainty and putting downward pressure on financial markets, including the cryptocurrency market. The fear of a recession and the volatility of traditional markets lead investors to tend to sell risk assets like cryptocurrencies for liquidity, which can cause price drops.
On the other hand, some investors see these tensions as an opportunity to reinforce the narrative of cryptocurrencies as a safe haven amid distrust in traditional financial systems, although their volatility remains high and demand may vary depending on the evolution of the crisis.
