Tensions are rising: The US president announced that a 25% customs duty will be applied to countries engaging in economic cooperation with Iran. Such protectionist trade policies can cause fluctuations in global markets. Increasing geopolitical tensions may lead investors to seek risk hedging instruments—cryptocurrency assets can also attract attention as an alternative reserve asset in this context. Similar policy decisions can increase macroeconomic uncertainty and affect digital asset demand.

Hey, this is really interesting. Once the US makes a move, the whole world starts trembling... But on the other hand, when such tariffs are slapped down, isn't it just handing a knife to crypto? Brothers, it's time to wake up. When traditional finance can't handle it, you should take a look at on-chain assets.

Here we go again with this set? Protectionist trade wars will only make the crypto circle more active. I bet the policies will continue to tug until ETH breaks 4000.

Now it's really going to be a trade war, with a 25% tariff directly crashing the market. --- Geopolitical risk is heating up, and the crypto world is about to be used as a safe haven again... --- So in the end, it's still necessary to stock up on crypto for defense; traditional assets are unreliable. --- This move is truly outrageous; when tensions in the Middle East rise, the crypto prices jump accordingly. --- Wait, do they really think that increasing taxes can scare Iran? Laughable, it will only make the market more chaotic. --- Macroeconomic uncertainty + policy risk, this is the real opportunity window for crypto. --- Here we go again, whenever there's political trouble, demand is pushed onto digital assets. --- Honestly, I am more bearish on this wave; the overhyped "safe haven" narrative should fade away.
