Crypto Market Weekly Report: Trends of Digital Assets Under the Global Economic Changes

Trump's Tariff Policy Triggers Market Volatility

Recently, the radical tariff policy proposed by Trump has caused turmoil in the global economy. This policy not only affects traditional financial markets but also has a severe impact on the crypto market. After the announcement of the policy, the crypto market experienced a significant decline, referred to as "Black Monday".

Analysts point out that this storm triggered by policy once again tests the resilience of the crypto market. Some observers even compare the drastic fluctuations in the US stock market to altcoin trends, believing that the current global financial market exhibits a high degree of speculation.

It is worth noting that the main driving force behind this policy is a certain non-mainstream economist. Although he has played an important role in promoting global economic transformation, the ultimate cost of this economic war is still to be assessed.

Crypto industry response strategies

In addition, the industry is exploring more equitable Meme coin issuance mechanisms, such as the new launch platform introduced in a certain ecosystem.
