There's been a lot of discussion about the recent tariff escalation, and I want to share my perspective on what this means for crypto markets both now and in the long term.
The resurgence of trade protectionism is introducing significant volatility across global markets — and crypto is no exception.
In the short term, this kind of macro uncertainty tends to trigger a risk-off response, with investors pulling back as they wait to see how things unfold around growth, policy, and trade.
Looking further ahead, though, this environment could also accelerate interest in crypto as a non-sovereign store of value. Many long-term holders continue to view Bitcoin and other digital assets as resilient during periods of economic stress and shifting policy dynamics.
