#TrumpTariffs

Everyone’s saying “the market’s down,” but no one’s explaining why. So here’s what’s really behind today’s crypto crash.

This wasn’t some random sell-off. The trigger? Trump’s new tariff plan. On April 5, his administration rolled out a 10% universal import tax—plus even steeper rates: 20% on the EU, 26% on Japan, and a massive 34% on China. More tariffs are set to hit on April 9. The threat of a global trade war just got real, and investors are fleeing risk—crypto included.
