Trump’s India Tariffs: Could Crypto Become the Ultimate Trade War Escape Hatch?

Trade tensions flare as Trump slaps fresh tariffs on India—and investors scramble for exits. Could digital assets be the next safe haven?

Wall Street hates uncertainty. And nothing rattles markets like a surprise tariff volley between economic heavyweights. With US-India trade relations hitting a boiling point, capital is hunting for fireproof exits.

Crypto’s borderless nature makes it a prime candidate for trade war refugees. No customs forms. No currency controls. Just pure, uncensorable value transfer—exactly what nervous money craves when geopolitical winds shift.

Of course, traditional finance will dismiss this as reckless speculation. (They would—their 1.5% yield bonds can’t compete with triple-digit crypto gains.) But when nation-states start economic warfare, decentralized assets start looking less like gambling and more like insurance.

The real question isn’t whether crypto will benefit—it’s how much capital will flood in before regulators ‘protect’ investors from making their own choices.
