Lately, the return of Trump Tariffs to public discussion has created ripples not just in traditional finance, but also in the crypto markets. Former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs—especially on Chinese goods—have reignited fears of a trade war, sending shockwaves through global markets. In the past month, we've seen increased volatility in Bitcoin and altcoin prices, as investors react to potential economic slowdowns and rising inflation concerns.
When traditional markets face uncertainty, crypto is often seen as either a hedge or a high-risk asset—depending on investor sentiment. As tariffs raise import costs and threaten supply chains, some investors seek refuge in decentralized assets, while others pull out due to risk aversion.
Will history repeat itself? Or will crypto finally decouple from global trade fears?
