TechFlow news, April 2 — Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at the Bitget Research Institute, pointed out that as U.S. President Trump proposes a new tariff plan, Bitcoin's safe-haven attributes are gaining increased attention. His proposal to "uniformly impose a 20% tariff" has shaken market confidence in fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, especially amid rising inflation expectations. Both Jim Reid of Deutsche Bank and Chris Weston from Pepperstone warned that if this policy is implemented, the global economy could face "stagflation" risks—rising costs alongside constrained economic growth.
From a fundamental economic perspective, if these tariffs are enacted, they may increase manufacturing costs and exacerbate inflation. This event could prolong market uncertainty. Under such conditions, demand for Bitcoin as an inflation hedge and safe-haven asset is expected to rise significantly.
