Higher tariffs can reduce consumer spending power and increase living costs. As retail investors tighten budgets, many reduce high-risk investments like crypto. Platforms report lower daily trading volume from non-institutional accounts. This highlights crypto’s dependence on retail enthusiasm for price support. While whales and institutions may fill the gap, prolonged retail exit can slow adoption. If inflation continues due to tariffs, we may see less speculative behavior and more emphasis on crypto’s utility rather than short-term profit.
