Trump’s Liberation Day: The impact of tariffs on the crypto market

Publicerad

5 timmar sedan

10 april, 2025

Av

Crypto trades around the clock and often responds quickly to market uncertainty. Bitcoin usually drops first during the market turbulence because it’s risky and easy to trade, just like tech stocks. Here’s how Trump’s tariffs are playing into that.

Stablecoins: The real powerhouse of crypto

Stablecoins are digital currencies tied to assets like the U.S. dollar, making them stable in price and easy to send worldwide instantly. They drive the crypto economy, moving billions, powering financial applications, and reshaping payments. From remittances to billion-dollar treasuries, explore how leading stablecoins like USDT and USDC are making it happen.

Why the memecoin mania isn’t a joke

A memecoin is a cryptocurrency inspired by internet memes or viral trends. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies focused on utility (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), memecoins thrive on community engagement, humor, and speculative momentum. With low barriers to entry, they’re easy to create and trade, making them a go-to starting point for crypto newcomers.

Mar.25 crypto update, Research commentary on market turmoil, CIO Notes and ETP performance attribution

Mar.25 crypto update, Research commentary on market turmoil, CIO Notes and ETP performance attribution

A – Research commentaries from last week developments

  1. Markets reacted to Trump tariffs – Bitcoin stands

Global markets fell sharply after President Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Chinese imports. Stocks led the decline – the Nasdaq 100 is now down -14% since the election, and the S&P 500 -12.3%. Crypto reacted too, but not uniformly:

• Altcoins such as SOL and ETH were hit hardest (down over 30% since November)

• Bitcoin and the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) showed resilience, gaining +14.3% and +9.3%, respectively since Election

This kind of selloff tends to erase diversification — everything moves together. But it’s essential to take a longer view:

• Since Trump’s election, only three assets have consistently outperformed: Bitcoin, NCI, and gold.

• Last week, only gold outpaced BTC, confirming the role of digital assets as a strategic long-term allocation — even in volatile regimes.

  1. Regulatory tailwinds are building

The next phase of crypto decoupling could come from policy. In the US, the signals are turning positive:

• The STABLE Act advanced in Congress, with Trump urging swift approval

• A tokenized fund paid $4.17M in dividends last month, proving blockchain’s real-world income potential

• The SEC has launched a review of past crypto guidance — a move toward clearer rules and broader institutional comfort

Bottom line: In a week where most assets fell, crypto stood out. That’s not a coincidence — it’s a signal.

B – CIO Monthly Notes – Crypto’s Political Tailwinds Are Blowing Hard

• Following a week in Washington, our CIO outlines how crypto is gaining bipartisan traction in DC.

• Key takeaway: regulatory clarity is coming faster than expected, and institutions are taking note.
