🇺🇸📉 TRUMP TARIFFS: IMPACT ON CRYPTO MARKETS

New tariff shocks under the Trump administration are shaking up global markets — and crypto isn’t immune.

🔥 WHAT HAPPENED?

• Trump reintroduced aggressive tariffs on China and other nations (up to 50%+).

• Sparked fears of stagflation: rising inflation + slowing growth.

• Stock markets saw their worst drop since 2020.

• Crypto followed with a sharp correction.

🪙 CRYPTO REACTION

Bitcoin dropped over 15% shortly after tariff announcement.

• Altcoins like ETH, PEPE, SHIB fell harder due to high volatility.

• Crypto stocks (Coinbase, MicroStrategy) declined 6–9%.

🧭 MACRO EFFECTS ON CRYPTO

• Tariffs ➜ Higher inflation ➜ Delayed Fed rate cuts

⛔ Less liquidity = Weakness in crypto short term

• Safe-haven flows boosted Gold and, later, Bitcoin

🔁 RECOVERY POTENTIAL

• After initial panic, Bitcoin rebounded as investors sought inflation hedges.

• Analysts say BTC could benefit in stagflation conditions.

• Momentum is shifting toward Bitcoin over altcoins.

⚙️ INFRASTRUCTURE SHIFT

• Tariffs forced Chinese crypto miners to relocate manufacturing to the USA.

• This strengthens U.S.-based mining and decentralizes supply chains.

• Combined with pro-crypto sentiment from the Trump camp (e.g., ETF support), this is bullish long term.
