The US-China tariff war is back—and crypto won’t stay on the sidelines.
1. Bitcoin ($BTC ) as a Macro Hedge
- Why it matters: Trade wars weaken traditional markets (stocks, currencies). In 2019, BTC surged +90% as tariffs spiked.
- 2024 scenario: If the $USD/$CNY destabilizes, investors may flock to BTC as a neutral-store asset. Watch for:
- Rising BTC open interest in Asian markets.
- Increased Tether ($USDT) demand in China (P2P premium signals).
2. Stablecoins ($USDT $FDUSD $USDC) in Focus
- China’s capital controls could trigger off-ramp demand via stablecoins.
- Risk: US may blacklist addresses tied to Chinese firms (see $TornadoCash sanctions precedent).
3. Mining & Supply Chain Shocks
- #BitcoinMiners (#MARA #RIOT): New tariffs on Chinese hardware (ASICs) may disrupt mining.
- Altcoin alerts: If China retaliates by restricting chip exports, GPU-mined coins like $ETH or $RVN could face volatility..
Key Levels to Watch
- $BTC holding $60K: Bullish if trade war escalates.
- $ETH vs. $SOL : $ETH’s China developer base could make it more sensitive.
Action Plan
1. Monitor #XMR NY exchange rates +#DOGE Asia premiums.
2. Diversify into non-trade-war-correlated assets ($BTC, $PAXG).
3. Avoid overexposure to speculative alts until dust settles.
