Bitcoin: what could happen in April
April 2nd has become an important date in the economic sphere of the United States due to the statements and plans of Trump. The president referred to that Wednesday as "Liberation Day" as he links it to the implementation of reciprocal tariffs.
"Investors are focusing their attention on the tariff announcements of April 2nd as the next major macroeconomic catalyst," says Matías Alberti, Country Manager of Coinbase. There is speculation that the world's leading power will impose tariffs on imports from other countries, seeking reciprocity in trade relations.
"Such an action has the potential to generate a strong impact on the global economy. It can affect prices of imported goods, trade relations with other countries, and inflation," asserts political analyst Edgardo Ferreyra.
For the specialist, it would be almost impossible for the crypto universe not to be impacted by what happens that day. According to Alberti, "the Fed will gradually slow down the pace of its balance sheet reduction starting April 1st, which should help sustain market liquidity."
Thus, whenever interest rates are lowered, Treasury bonds and other conservative investments lose appeal compared to risk assets, such as digital currencies.
