President Donald Trump has announced a 25% tariff on imports from the European Union (EU), leading to concerns across various markets, including the cryptocurrency sector. Trump's support for the crypto industry throughout his presidency has been well-documented. The European Commission has pledged to respond firmly against what it sees as unjustified trade barriers, in an effort to prevent a full-blown trade conflict. The announcement has injected volatility into financial markets, with the euro experiencing a slight decline and U.S. stock markets exhibiting mixed reactions. The trade tensions may prompt investors to consider cryptocurrencies as a hedge against traditional market volatility. Bitcoin's price has decreased by 4.7% in the past 24 hours due to the tariff announcement and ongoing market volatility.
