#TrumpTariffs —especially during his presidency—primarily targeted traditional trade (e.g., China, steel, aluminum). While they didn’t directly affect the crypto market, they had indirect impacts:
Market Uncertainty: Tariffs created economic instability, pushing some investors toward crypto as a hedge against traditional markets.
Inflation & Dollar Pressure: Tariffs can raise prices on goods, potentially weakening the U.S. dollar—this often increases demand for alternative assets like Bitcoin.
China-U.S. Tensions: As Trump’s tariffs escalated trade tensions, Chinese investors increasingly turned to crypto to bypass capital controls and protect assets.
So, while Trump’s tariffs weren’t aimed at crypto, they contributed to broader economic shifts that boosted interest and investment in digital assets.
