#TariffsPause

As of April 2025, the U.S. government has announced a 90-day suspension of most reciprocal tariffs, excluding China. This decision, effective from April 10, 2025, aims to alleviate inflationary pressures and facilitate trade negotiations. 

In response, the European Union has matched the U.S. 90-day pause on tariffs, delaying its first tranche of retaliatory duties on U.S. goods. 

The announcement has led to a positive reaction in financial markets, with U.S. stocks rising and the U.S. dollar experiencing a slight recovery. 

In the cryptocurrency sector, the pause has provided temporary relief, with Bitcoin and altcoins experiencing a surge in prices. 

However, the 90-day suspension is viewed by some analysts as a temporary measure, with concerns that it could be reversed or lead to further volatility. 

Additionally, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has requested a 60-day pause in its lawsuit against Binance, indicating a potential shift towards a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance under new leadership.
