Trump’s Trade Moves Pressure the Crypto Market.

On April 2nd, U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce a new wave of import tariffs. This could mark a critical turning point — not just for global markets, but for the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and mining-related sectors.

Analysts warn that escalating trade tensions could lead to prolonged economic uncertainty, further impacting digital assets, blockchain startups, and even mining hardware demand, such as ASIC miners.

Yet, crypto whales aren’t flinching. On-chain metrics show that wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC continue to accumulate, signalling long-term confidence despite short-term volatility.

Whale behaviour suggests that institutional players and long-term holders still see value in digital assets, even as macro risks and regulation fears loom.
