📉 Trump Tariffs Shake Crypto Markets 🔥

Recent tariff moves by President Trump — especially the threat of **100% tariffs on Chinese imports — have sent shockwaves through global markets and the crypto space. These trade policies aren’t directly about digital assets, but they do impact investor confidence, risk appetite, and liquidity. 

What Happened?

• After tariff news, Bitcoin, Ether and other major cryptos saw sharp declines as risk assets pulled back. 

• The market experienced record sell-offs and liquidation events, wiping out billions in leveraged positions. 

• Traders moved away from volatile crypto into safer assets due to uncertainty. 

Which Cryptos Were Affected Most?

✔️ Bitcoin (BTC) – fell sharply with broader market stress. 

✔️ Ethereum (ETH) – also dropped, often deeper due to higher risk correlation. 

✔️ Solana (SOL) – saw significant losses during tariff-linked sell-offs. 

✔️ Dogecoin (DOGE), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Chainlink, Stellar (XLM) and others – mirrored broader crypto declines on tariff news. 

Why Tariffs Move Crypto

• Tariffs can slow global economic growth and squeeze liquidity — pushing investors out of riskier assets like crypto. 

• They can strengthen the US dollar and tighten financial conditions, usually bearish for digital assets. 

• Mining costs could rise if import duties hit hardware supply chains. 

Tariff policies don’t change blockchain fundamentals — but they do affect market psychology and capital flows. Crypto often reacts like other risk assets when macro uncertainty spikes.
