#TrumpTariffs Trump's tariffs, as implemented in 2025 (for example, 25% for Canada and Mexico, 10-50% for China), triggered short-term volatility in the crypto markets, including Bitcoin, due to economic uncertainty and risk-off sentiment. BTC prices dropped from $110,000 to $74,500-$83,000 due to concerns over inflation and potential recession. However, a tariff pause (for example, a 90-day delay) sparked a price recovery, with BTC rebounding to ~$83,000. In the long term, tariffs could weaken the dominance of the US dollar, increasing the appeal of BTC as "digital gold" and a hedge against economic instability.
