#TrumpTariffs

Donald Trump's tariff policies have created ripples across global markets, including the crypto space. Recent announcements of new tariffs on countries like Japan and South Korea, effective August 1st, 2025, have led to increased market uncertainty and a "risk-off" sentiment. This often causes investors to move away from volatile assets like cryptocurrencies and towards safer havens.

While Trump's administration has generally adopted a pro-crypto stance, aiming to make the US a "crypto capital," the broader economic anxieties stemming from trade disputes can temporarily weigh down crypto prices. Bitcoin, for instance, has seen dips following tariff news, reflecting its correlation with overall market optimism and risk appetite.
