When market stability collides with political changes, the financial world enters a new phase. On March 2, 2025, Donald Trump announced the incorporation of cryptocurrencies into the U.S. strategic reserve and new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, causing fluctuations in traditional and digital markets.
U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve
The United States, for the first time, included cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Solana, and Cardano in its financial reserves. This was done to strengthen the dollar's global position and counter the dominance of the digital yuan.
Tariffs and Market Impact
From January to March 2025, Trump imposed a series of tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico. This led to retaliatory measures, increasing inflation and supply chain risks. Stock and crypto markets experienced significant volatility.
Crypto and Trade Wars
Bitcoin, often considered 'digital gold,' faced a test amid trade wars. Its response to tariff news showed close movement with traditional assets, raising questions about its role as a hedge.
The introduction of crypto into U.S. strategic reserves and trade tensions have challenged modern markets. Bitcoin and altcoins now hold a central place in global financial policy. This opens up new opportunities and risks for investors.
