The prices for cryptocurrency assets and cryptocurrency shares flew by tens of percent after US President Donald Trump postponed the introduction of large -scale trade duties for 90 days. Experts interviewed by Coindesk with caution suggest that the worst for the prices for crypto assets is already behind, if there are no “unexpected surprises”, writes RBC Crypto.
For the past few months, cryptocurrency and stock markets have been experiencing significant volatility against the background of either tram duties introduced by Trump. Almost every statement of the US president or administration caused significant quotation movements in the markets.
So, for example, on April 2, the US authorities announced the introduction of duties in size from 10 to 50% more than 180 countries. On April 7, the Minister of Trade Howard Latnik confirmed the intention of the administration, saying that “there will be no delay” regarding the introduced economic measures. On April 9, about 4 hours before the announcement of the deferment of the introduction of duties, Trump wrote in his account on the social network Truth Social, which is now “a great time to buy”.
The price of bitcoin over the past day increased by more than 6%, to $ 81.9 thousand, according to CoinmarketCap on April 10. Ethereum quotes increased by about 10%, rising above $ 1.6 thousand. The total capitalization of the cryptorrhist increased to $ 2.6 trillion, which amounted to an increase of about 7%.
In addition to the prices for crypto assets, significant growth is recorded in prices for shares of mining companies. According to Hashrate Index on April 10, tracking the quotes of about 30 traded companies as part of the Mining Stocks Index index, the growth was an average of about 17%.
Prices for shares of the largest corporate Bitcoin holder – Strategy Michael Seilor – increased by almost 25%, reaching $ 296, according to TradeingView. And the quotes of the largest American Coinbase crypto -tank showed an increase of about 17% following a trading session that ended on April 9th.
Caution
“The growth was due to optimism that the worst could be already behind,” wrote the Hashkey Capital partner Jupiter Zheng, adding that possible obstacles to further growth of markets can be response from China, but the beginning of negotiations with other countries instilles some hope.
And since American regulators continue to eliminate regulatory barriers and introduce a more favorable policy regarding the cryptocurrency market, “it is possible that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have reached the bottom if there are no unexpected surprises,” Zheng believes.
Nevertheless, experts warn of the persistent uncertainty around the duties and the actions of other states. BTSE Chief Operating Director Jeff May noted that the markets are growing precisely on expectations, that all negotiation participants will conduct a dialogue, “avoiding a full -scale trade war.”
“Preservation of duties against China and vice versa [их отсутствие] will lead to a restructuring of global trade, which can radically change how the world functions. We maintain caution until we see the consequences of this in the coming months, ”the expert concluded.
But there are experts who adhere to their constant point of view, regardless of changeable actions and statements of the US administration. Bitwise Management Director Matt Housogan once again confirmed the price forecast of $ 200 thousand per bitcoin in 2025, voiced at the end of last year.
BitWise positions itself as one of the largest and fast -growing company -controlled companies. It offers both index and active strategies in a wide range of investment tools. Bitcoin is $ 200 thousand and not only. Bitwise’s main forecasts for 2025
Commenting on the existing macroeconomic uncertainty and the distrust of the US dollar, Hawgan wrote in a note on the BitWise website that “the fall of the dollar is equal to the growth of bitcoin – I expect this trend to remain.”
“So, when it comes to the introduction of duties, I am most confident in the following: the Trump administration wants to significantly weaken the dollar, even if it means sacrificing it to the role of the only world reserve currency. I feel that we will move from a single reserve currency (dollar) to a system where firm money, such as bitcoin and gold, will play a greater role than today, ”concluded Hawgan.
