On April 9, 2025, President Trump announced a 90-day pause on most U.S. tariffs (excluding China), easing global trade tensions. This TariffsPause stabilized markets, boosting crypto prices—Bitcoin hit $84,704.44 and Ethereum $1,595.26 by April 18. Crypto’s advantage lies in its role as a hedge against economic uncertainty; tariffs often fuel inflation, driving investors to decentralized assets. The pause reduced short-term volatility, but crypto’s long-term appeal grows as a safe haven amid ongoing trade policy shifts.
