Trump's BRICS Tariff Threat Could Propel Bitcoin's Growth Alongside US Dollar

The U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threat of a 100% tariff against BRICS nations over a shared currency has highlighted rising tensions and may increase Bitcoin's role as a global financial hedge. Trump criticized the potential creation of a common currency among BRICS countries and warned of economic consequences if they undermine the US dollar. This comes as speculation rises about the bloc's consideration of alternatives to the dollar. In response, Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano suggested that the future would involve using dollars for transactions and Bitcoin for savings. BRICS nations are exploring alternatives to the dollar to reduce reliance and exposure to Western sanctions. Trump has shifted his stance on cryptocurrencies from skepticism to advocacy and has proposed regulatory changes to position the US as a global leader in the crypto space. The Trump brand's ties to the digital asset industry are deepening, with his family's involvement in launching a cryptocurrency platform.
