India-EU Free Trade Deal Signals Geopolitical Shift Amid Crypto Market Watch
India and the European Union have sealed a landmark free-trade agreement, creating a combined market of 2 billion people. The deal, framed as a rebuke to Trump-era protectionism, includes tariff cuts on 96.6% of Indian exports with projections to double EU trade by 2032.
While the agreement focuses on traditional goods, cryptocurrency markets are monitoring the implications for digital asset frameworks. The EU's progressive MiCA regulations and India's evolving crypto stance could see increased capital flows into BTC, ETH, and EU-aligned projects like DOT and FIL as cross-border payment innovations gain traction.
Notably absent was any mention of digital currencies in the official release, leaving traders to speculate whether this 'mother of all deals' will eventually encompass blockchain infrastructure. Exchange-traded coins with EU exposure (XRP, ADA) saw muted reactions on Binance and Coinbase during the announcement.
