Trade Wars☄️ or Bubbles 🫧
One year into Trump’s 60% China tariffs, crypto markets have adapted fast. Here’s what’s working now:
1️⃣ DeFi Bridges Bypassing Sanctions
🔹 $XRP (Ripple) – Up 80% YTD as institutions use it for CBDC-friendly cross-border settlements, bypassing SWIFT.
🔹 $QNT (Quant) – Powering tokenized trade finance deals (e.g., HSBC x Chainlink), +150% in Q1 2025.
2️⃣ AI-Powered Trade Oracles
🤖 $FET (Fetch.ai) – Automating tariff-optimized supply chains. +45% since Jan 2025 via Maersk partnership.
📊 $TAO (Bittensor) – AI models predicting trade war impacts. +300% post-Trump’s “AI Decoupling” order.
3️⃣ Privacy Coins as Dark Pool Equivalents
🕵️ $ZEC (Zcash) – Institutional demand for shielded transactions at ATH levels.
🔐 $AZERO (Aleph Zero) – GDPR-compliant privacy L1 helping EU firms dodge U.S. tariffs.
💼 2025 Trading Playbook
📉 Short: Tariff-exposed Chinese meme coins ($PEOPLE, $LADYS).
📈 Long: $VET (VeChain) – Supply chain tokenization leader, +120% since tariffs hit.
🎲 Wildcard: $TRUMP2025 – Meme coin tied to election chaos (volatility = opportunity).
