Donald Trump’s latest trade policy move ignites a market rally, with Bitcoin leading the charge as analysts predict long-term dominance.
Donald Trump’s latest economic maneuver has sent shockwaves through financial markets and Bitcoin is riding the wave.
The former president’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for non-retaliating nations, coupled with a stern warning for those who resist, has injected fresh optimism into both stocks and crypto. While traditional markets cheered, Bitcoin’s surge to $80,000 stole the spotlight, cementing its reputation as a hedge against uncertainty.
“Bitcoin isn’t just surviving; it’s thriving,” said Matt Hogan, CIO of Bitwise Asset Management. He pointed to the cryptocurrency’s resilience, contrasting its 2020 pandemic crash with its current bull run. “This isn’t luck—it’s proof of its role in a shifting financial system.”
The narrative gained traction as Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s digital asset strategist, highlighted Bitcoin’s growing adoption in global trade. “When China and Russia settle energy deals in Bitcoin, it’s a signal,” he said. “Fiat currencies are losing ground, and Bitcoin is picking up the slack.”
Behind the scenes, the U.S. government is making its own bets. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant’s push to ease crypto regulations aligns with whispers of a long-term strategy: accumulating Bitcoin as “digital gold.” Michael Saylor, a vocal advocate, has even urged the U.S. to aggressively stockpile the asset, framing it as a modern-day Fort Knox.
For now, the message is clear. Trump’s policies, whether by design or accident, are accelerating Bitcoin’s rise and Wall Street is taking notes.
