🚨 News Alert: US Trade Tariffs and the Impact on the Crypto Market! 🚨
The Current Scenario:
Since April 2025, the US has implemented a universal base tariff of 10% on ALL imports, raising the level of protectionism. And it doesn't stop there! Trade partners like the European Union and China, considered "worst offenders", are facing even higher "reciprocal tariffs". We have already seen tariffs of 25% on products from Japan and South Korea, and up to 50% on the European Union.
The Global Domino Effect:
Experts and analysts are sounding the alarm: these measures could undermine the fragile recovery of the global economy, which is already grappling with high inflation, record debt, and geopolitical tensions. The major concern is that the world could be pushed into a global recession, with greater uncertainty and volatility.
The US-China trade war has also heated up. As China retaliates with its own tariffs, there is growing fear that Europe could become a "dumping ground" for Chinese products, further destabilizing global trade.
How is the Crypto Market Reacting?
Despite the turbulence in traditional markets, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have shown remarkable resilience! At times, we have seen significant recoveries even with threats of new tariffs.
Why is this happening? Many investors are beginning to see Bitcoin and other digital assets as a "hedge" against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies in times of protectionism and economic uncertainty. When traditional trade policies create instability, the decentralization and deflationary nature (for some assets) of cryptocurrencies can become a safe haven.
