🌍 How do tariffs affect the crypto market?
An unobvious but powerful connection.
When countries impose tariffs (customs taxes on imports), it looks like pure politics. But in reality, it triggers a whole chain of events that directly affect crypto.
🔻 The effect on the market:
▫️ An example from 2025: after Trump's announcement of 25% tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, $BTC fell from $107K to $91K.
▫️ Liquidations amounted to $2.23 billion.
▫️ Investors were looking for safe havens: gold, the dollar, and government bonds.
💸 Inflation and rates:
▪️ Rates → price increases → inflation.
▪️ To curb it, central banks can raise rates.
▪️ And this is a disadvantage for crypto because it is a risky asset.
But not everywhere....
Devaluation and crypto:
🔸 In countries where the national currency is falling (Argentina, Turkey), people are fleeing to $BTC and stablecoins.
🔸 There, crypto becomes not a "speculation" but a real financial salvation.
🔲 Short-term:
Tariffs → fear → $BTC drop.
🔲 Long-term:
Destabilization of traditional currencies → growing confidence in crypto as an alternative.
Politics and economics matter. Even if they seem far from Web3. 12 replies
