According to a Grayscale research report, tariffs and trade tensions could boost bitcoin adoption in the medium term. The report highlights that higher tariffs lead to stagflation, negatively impacting traditional assets but benefiting scarce commodities like gold. Bitcoin, likened to digital gold, is seen as a modern store of value. Following President Trump’s announcement of a 90-day tariff pause for non-retaliating countries, cryptocurrencies surged. Grayscale suggests that trade tensions might reduce demand for the U.S. dollar, creating opportunities for competing assets such as other fiat currencies, gold, and bitcoin. The report also notes that historical trends indicate persistent dollar weakness and above-average inflation, conditions likely to favor bitcoin. Additionally, U.S. government policy changes could enhance bitcoin’s market structure and broaden its investor base.

7h I’m actually quite surprised how effective the tariff pause news was in shifting the tide to bullish so quickly.Simple swing highs in an overall downtrend at present.Highly unlikely BTC’s not going to retest the most basic of outstanding support below, and break it.
