How will Trump's reciprocal tariffs affect the future of cryptocurrency? Trump's newly announced "Reciprocal Tariffs" policy has shaken the world, from tariffs of 10% -20% on China, 25% on Canada and Mexico, to the 10% benchmark tax rate announced on Liberation Day. This is not only a trade war, but also a turning point for opportunities and challenges in the cryptocurrency industry. 1. Short term volatility: a "stress test" for risky assets The trade war cloud caused by tariffs has led to a surge in economic uncertainty, with cryptocurrency as a high-risk asset bearing the brunt. Bitcoin has experienced volatility since the policy announcement, with some funds flowing into gold. Experts predict that if the trade war escalates, BTC may fall below the $80000 support level. 2. Inflation Boosting: Bitcoin's' Digital Gold 'Moment Tariffs are pushing up import prices, and inflation in the United States may increase by 1-2% in 2025. The safe haven nature of Bitcoin may be manifested as a result. If the Federal Reserve delays interest rate cuts due to inflation and investor confidence in the US dollar is shaken, Bitcoin may become a hedge. The premise is that the market must truly recognize Bitcoin's "safe haven" label. 3. Soaring Mining Costs: The 'China Challenge' in the Supply Chain American mining companies rely on Chinese ASIC mining machines (such as Bitmain), and a 20% tariff on China may cause mining machine prices to rise by 15-20%, leading to a sharp increase in mining costs. The ROI cycle of new mining sites is prolonged, putting pressure on profits. 4. The double-edged sword of the strong US dollar Tariffs may push up the US dollar exchange rate, putting short-term pressure on Bitcoin due to inverse correlation. But if the trade war shakes the dominance of the US dollar (China promotes RMB settlement), cryptocurrencies may turn around. De dollarization is a slow variable, be patient and wait. 5. Supply Chain Restructuring: A New Map of Mining Industry Tariffs accelerate the shift of supply chains from China to Vietnam and India, and the US domestic mining industry may expand under the influence of policies. But the initial cost is high, and independent mining machine manufacturing still requires time. This may be the starting point of 'regional mining', and the pattern is being reshaped. 6. The Rise of Stablecoins: "Parallel Finance" under the Trade War The tariff friction weakens traditional financial trust, and the demand for stablecoins (USDT, USDC) may surge due to cross-border payments. The Trump team is also optimistic about stablecoins. If US dollar payments are restricted, they may become a new choice for small and medium-sized enterprises, and cryptocurrency adoption will take another step forward. 7. Regulatory fog: the game between tariffs and policies The trade war exacerbates uncertainty, and Trump may take the opportunity to promote loose encryption policies to stimulate the economy. But if global retaliation escalates, the SEC may tighten regulation and short-term risks increase. Crypto players need to be prepared with both hands: welcoming dividends and guarding against "black swans". 8. Geopolitical Dividend: The Global Role of Cryptocurrency The decoupling between China and the United States is accelerating, China is promoting the digital yuan, the WTO is declining, and Bitcoin may become a symbol of "neutral assets". If the trade war breaks the old order, cryptocurrency may fill the global payment vacuum, and the long-term prospects are bright. Summary: Pain and Rebirth The short-term implementation of equivalent tariffs has made the cryptocurrency market tremble with increased volatility, rising costs, and the suppression of the US dollar. But in the long run, inflation hedging, policy support, and global restructuring are major positive factors. 2025 is a 'painful period', and if we get through it, encryption may find a new position in Trump's' America First 'policy. Pay attention to tariff details, Federal Reserve movements, and global reactions, opportunities are hidden in the storm.
