#USChinaTensions The geopolitical tensions between China and Western powers, such as the United States, have generated uncertainty in global financial markets, including the world of cryptocurrencies. The restrictions imposed by China on the trading of digital assets and its ban on Bitcoin mining caused sharp declines in prices and migration of operations to other countries. In turn, the technological rivalry between these powers impacts the development of blockchain and the institutional adoption of crypto assets. Increased volatility and unpredictable regulatory changes reflect how the situation with China influences the stability and evolution of the crypto ecosystem.
