New Tariffs Introduction: President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on almost all imports. Higher charges are being levied on specific nations like 34% on China, 20% on the EU, 24% on Japan, and 26% on India. This has worried investors over a possible slowdown in global economic growth.
As a result, they have begun cutting exposure to volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies. Investor Rebalancing out of Risk Assets: The trade war has created a dramatic sell-off in the crypto sector . More than $300 million in long positions have been liquidated as investors rebalance to safer assets.
Regulatory Developments: The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) suggested that insurers that invest in crypto face strict capital requirements. Thus, discouraging institutional investment in the sector. The interplay of new American tariffs, risk asset flight, and changing regulatory environments has resulted in the crypto price decline today.
