Join Matt and Simon as they break down the crypto crash that shook markets after U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China. They share possible scenarios that may unfold from here, major altcoin news, and more.
Key Takeaways
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and 10% tariffs on China. The nature of the announcement took the market by surprise, causing a sell-off across all risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, with altcoins hit particularly hard.
- Yesterday, Trump agreed to pause tariffs on Canada and Mexico for at least 30 days after constructive conversations, sparking a market correction.
- Crypto investors should brace for heightened volatility in the short term, as Trump’s unpredictable tariff policy will likely keep dominating the headlines. This is especially relevant for altcoins, which unsurprisingly sold off more heavily than BTC in the last week.
- Altcoins discussed in this episode include Uniswap (UNI), Raydium (RAY), Sui (SUI) and more.
