This includes the so-called \u201cDirty 15\u201d, a group of major trading partners that together make up 80% of U.S. trade.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s proposed system, built on unilateral tariffs and non-tariff barriers, represents a complete shift away from the cooperative global order that has defined the last several decades of international trade.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Trump, Carney Talk About Trade, &#039;Agree on Many Things&#039;\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B0e4qYouw4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does this matter for crypto?<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto is inherently cross-border. Its infrastructure, users, capital flows, and regulatory frameworks depend on global alignment and relatively open markets. Any shift toward economic fragmentation risks disrupting that progress.<\/p>\n<p>Crebo-Rediker notes that countries like Canada are already preparing to diversify away from the U.S., bracing for a reconfiguration of trade and investment relationships. In this new era, markets could become more closed, regulation more inconsistent, and capital controls more common. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>She may agree (I don\u2019t know), but these are all hostile conditions for crypto adoption. She also warns of a broader retreat from the multilateral frameworks that underpin both global finance and regulatory cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>If America turns inward while allies look elsewhere, especially towards China, which is positioning itself as a defender of the global system \u2013 it could weaken the West\u2019s influence over digital asset standards.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto advocates have cheered Trump\u2019s recent embrace of stablecoins and digital finance, but they should be cautious. A fragmented world, with each country pulling in a different direction on trade and tech, is not a world where crypto can thrive. <\/p>\n<p>Forget about Michael Saylor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/saylor-bitcoin-could-grow-20-annually-surpassing-200-trillion-market-cap\/\">vision of Bitcoin surpassing a $200 trillion market cap<\/a> and we can only hope it can hold on to a $1 trillion valuation.<\/p>\n<p>If global coordination erodes, so too might the prospects for crypto\u2019s next wave of adoption. If so, it was a fun run. If not, I\u2019ll be glad to admit being wrong.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/opinion-why-trumps-liberation-day-tariffs-may-hurt-cryptos-global-future\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s upcoming \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariff announcement is being framed by some experts as a reset of global trade and could have negative implications for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":295449,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crypto"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newhampshiredigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
