The recent China-U.S. trade war has escalated again, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense. The U.S. has taken strong measures, raising tariffs on Chinese goods to 104%, displaying a posture of comprehensive suppression. China is not to be outdone, quickly retaliating by raising tariffs on U.S. goods to 84%, responding tit for tat without yielding. And just today, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury has thrown out a new 'bomb', threatening to delist Chinese stocks from the U.S. market. This series of actions has undoubtedly made the global market anxious, and the cryptocurrency sector is facing even harsher conditions.
Every escalation of the trade war feels like a bucket of cold water poured over the global economy. Tariffs soaring, supply chains obstructed, market confidence wavering, and investors have long become startled. The threat of delisting Chinese stocks has directly choked off the flow of capital. The cryptocurrency sector, as a high-risk and high-volatility field, is extremely sensitive to macroeconomic policy fluctuations, and now caught in the crossfire of the China-U.S. game, it is akin to walking on thin ice. The price fluctuations of cryptocurrencies are already enough to raise heart rates, and with such a geopolitical 'big weapon', players' emotions can only be described as 'agonizing'.
Looking back at these years in the cryptocurrency sector, from wild price surges and crashes to intense regulatory pressure, and now being affected by the trade war, it has truly been a nerve-wracking journey. The shadow of the trade war not only puts pressure on the real economy but also makes the survival environment for digital assets even harsher. The funding chain is tense, market sentiment is low, and even the financing and promotion of blockchain projects have become extremely difficult. Brothers in the cryptocurrency sector must tremble while watching the candlestick charts, all while guarding against 'black swan' events in policy; this kind of life is truly hard to bear. If the trade war intensifies, then this market has yet to hit bottom.
