Trade War Tariffs Fuel Extreme Fear: Bitcoin Slumps Amid Massive Liquidations

The crypto market’s shift into “extreme fear” (Fear & Greed Index: 25) reflects escalating concerns over potential U.S. trade wars.

In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin fell over 12% to $86,000 following Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, with altcoins declining further as investors retreated from risk assets.

Sustained trade tensions could push Bitcoin toward critical support levels at $81,000 or below, particularly if inflation fears or economic slowdowns intensify.

However, two countervailing factors may emerge:

  1. Inflation Hedge Narrative: Prolonged tariffs could amplify Bitcoin’s appeal if inflationary pressures rise.
  2. Policy Catalysts: Trump’s pro-crypto agenda (e.g., Bitcoin ETF approvals, regulatory clarity) might stabilize sentiment once short-term risks ease.

The $3–5 billion in leveraged liquidations suggests market corrections may eliminate overleveraged positions, potentially creating a rebound opportunity if trade tensions de-escalate.

For now, crypto remains tightly correlated with macroeconomic uncertainty, balancing bearish trade risks against structural bullish drivers like institutional adoption.

Dubai Approves USDC & EURC: A Milestone for Stablecoins and Global Crypto Adoption

The approval of USDC and EURC as the first stablecoins under Dubai’s new crypto framework on February 24, 2025, marks a significant step for Circle and positions Dubai as a blockchain innovation hub, enabling over 6,000 DIFC firms to legally use these stablecoins for payments and treasury functions.

This move enhances trust in stablecoins amid regional volatility, boosts Circle’s competitive stance against Tether’s USDT dominance, and could reshape the $157 billion stablecoin market by legitimizing USDC and EURC for broader use.

For crypto adoption, it’s a game-changer in the UAE—already third globally in adoption—offering businesses efficient, compliant tools for digital finance and potentially accelerating the region’s emergence as a crypto powerhouse.
