🇺🇸📉 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.
