REPERMISSIONS OF U.S. CRYPTO POLICY

Fees often raise concerns in traditional stock and bond markets. When there is economic uncertainty or a global slowdown, some investors may seek alternative assets to protect their capital. This is where cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin (BTC), are often regarded as a "safe haven" or "digital gold," similar to how traditional gold behaves in times of crisis. If traditional markets are negatively impacted by fees, we could see a flow of capital into cryptocurrencies.

Weakening of the Dollar (Potential): If fee policies lead to a prolonged trade war or significant domestic inflation in the U.S., it could create downward pressure on the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. A weaker dollar could make dollar-denominated cryptocurrencies more attractive to international investors, as their purchasing power in terms of dollars could increase.

Innovation in Supply Chains and Payments: Fees may force companies to rethink their supply chains and cross-border payment methods. Blockchain technology, which underlies cryptocurrencies, offers solutions for greater efficiency and transparency in logistics and international payments, potentially circumventing the frictions created by fees. This could accelerate the adoption of blockchain-based solutions in global trade.

Pressure on Technology Companies: Many technology companies operating globally could be affected by fees, especially if they rely on imported components. This could indirectly impact investment and development within the broader tech sector, which often intersects with the crypto space.
