Crypto Markets Brace for Impact as Global Tariff Concerns Intensify

Cryptocurrency investors face mounting pressure as global tariff tensions overshadow recent regulatory progress. The departure of SEC Chair Gensler, resolution of high-profile crypto lawsuits, and anticipated ETF approvals had briefly buoyed market sentiment. The U.S. Treasury''s shift from asset sales to reserve accumulation provided additional support.

Trade negotiations between the U.S. and China show promising developments, with Commerce Secretary Lutnick indicating potential resolution within days. A positive outcome could provide crucial relief to risk assets, including digital currencies.

Federal Reserve policy remains a wildcard. While tariff resolutions might ease inflationary pressures, the central bank''s response could determine whether crypto markets find stable footing or face renewed volatility.
