#TariffTensionsHitCryptoMarket
🔹The high tariffs that US President Donald Trump has implemented or threatened for 2025 and 2026, particularly the 100% threat against China, the 10-25% increases against European Union countries, and geopolitical tensions such as the Greenland dispute, created a significant risk-off wave in global financial markets. This situation affected the cryptocurrency market more severely than traditional stocks, leading to a rapid decline in Bitcoin from its all-time highs, deeper drops in Ethereum and other altcoins, the liquidation of billions of dollars in leveraged positions, and losses of hundreds of billions of dollars in total market capitalization. Because crypto assets are perceived as a risky asset class, these tariffs, which raise inflation expectations, risk slowing economic growth, and tighten global liquidity, increased selling pressure in the short term. However, there are also views that in the long term, Bitcoin could strengthen its role as an alternative store of value, acting as "digital gold." However, as market volatility persists, investors are closely monitoring macroeconomic developments and are sensitive to sudden news flows.
A significant level of weariness is observed, particularly among small investors.
