Santiment Announced: What to Expect from Bitcoin After the Decisions of the USA and China? - Coin Bulletin

The mutual customs tariffs announced by President Donald Trump of the USA have created sudden uncertainty in the markets, increasing volatility in cryptocurrencies.

The crypto analysis platform Santiment has published a comprehensive report examining the effects of the new tariffs announced by Trump in the Rose Garden of the White House. The U.S. administration imposed "reciprocal tariffs" on imported foreign goods, corresponding to the rates that other countries apply to American products. Trump's main aim is stated to be protecting the U.S. economy, increasing government revenues, and creating fair conditions in global trade.

Santiment addressed the economic impacts of tariffs in its report, examining both the positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, tariffs could encourage production within the U.S., increase employment, and protect American companies from foreign competition. However, Santiment also highlights the negative aspects, noting that consumers could suffer due to the rising costs of imported goods and that other countries could retaliate, potentially leading to a global trade war.

Can cryptocurrencies be a safe haven?

Santiment's analysis points out that investors are turning to traditional safe havens during this time of uncertainty. Gold has risen 20% in the last three months to $3,190 per ounce, while Bitcoin's (BTC), on the other hand, states that it has been following traditional market movements such as the S&P 500 throughout 2025 so far, despite the "digital gold" rhetoric.**

On the other hand, the report emphasizes that the discussions on social media and the comments from the crypto community indicate expectations that Trump's tariffs could have a positive impact on the crypto market in the long term. However, Santiment highlights that the realization of this largely depends on how other countries respond to the tariffs.
