#TariffsPause Trump Announces 90-Day Tariff Pause — Markets React Fast

In a surprising move, former President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for most countries, while simultaneously increasing tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%.

This decision sent shockwaves through global markets — but crypto surged with confidence.

Bitcoin (BTC) jumped over 8%, crossing $81,700

Ethereum (ETH) and XRP gained over 12%

MicroStrategy and Coinbase stocks soared, up 25% and 17% respectively

The pause brought temporary relief to investors worried about escalating trade tensions, signaling a pro-business stance that boosted demand for high-risk, high-reward assets like crypto.

However, the sharp rise in Chinese tariffs keeps uncertainty in play, especially for global trade and tech markets.

Why it matters:

Easing trade fears = more investor confidence

Risk assets (like BTC) benefit from macro relief

Tariff decisions remain a key market catalyst

Short-term gain or long-term shift? Time will tell. For now — crypto’s back in motion.
