US-China Trade War: Tensions Rise
The trade war between the United States and China has reached a new level.
In recent months, the US has raised tariffs on Chinese products to a staggering 104%, accusing Beijing of unfair trade practices.
In response, China didn’t stay silent — it imposed 84% tariffs on various American goods and launched investigations into major US companies.
Tensions escalated when the US Treasury Secretary called China's tariffs a “big mistake” and promised even tougher measures. On the other side, China declared it’s ready to “fight to the end.”
Meanwhile, stock markets in Asia and Europe plummeted, and the world is closely watching the next moves in this economic standoff.
Market Impact and the Rise of Crypto Assets
With all this instability, many investors — especially in China — are looking for a way out.
And that’s where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin come into play.
With the threat of a devalued yuan, interest in assets outside of government control is growing. Cryptos are seen as a way to protect wealth and escape the economic pressure brought on by the tariff war.
