Out in the vast, digital plains where Bitcoin roams, the whispers of tariff winds are causing a bit of a stir. According to Jag Kooner, the wise sage and Head of Derivatives at Bitfinex, these winds could ruffle the feathers of Bitcoin’s safe haven status, at least for a while.
For years, Bitcoin (BTC) has been seen as a sturdy ship in the stormy seas of inflation and geopolitical turmoil. But now, the ship faces a new challenge: the shifting tides of U.S. trade policy. “It’s like the old days when the farmers had to worry about the weather, only now it’s the traders worrying about tariffs,” Kooner mused to crypto.news.
Yet, Kooner points out that Bitcoin has grown stronger, more resilient, like a tree that has weathered many storms. The roots of this resilience lie in the growing embrace of Bitcoin by the institutional giants and the steady flow of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). “These ETFs are like the irrigation systems of the crypto world, keeping the soil fertile even when the rains of uncertainty come,” he chuckled.
“New US tariffs would likely trigger classic risk-off reflexes with equity weakness, dollar strength, yield softness. But unlike past cycles, crypto now enjoys structural ETF support and sovereign hedge narrative,” said Jag Kooner, from Bitfinex. “While BTC may dip initially alongside equities, any tariff-induced inflation expectations or dollar weakening could feed back into crypto rates positively,” he added, with a twinkle in his eye. 🌟
With more and more firms seeing Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and macroeconomic volatility, especially if the dollar continues its downward trend, Kooner believes the crypto world is better prepared than ever. “It’s like having a good insurance policy when the sky looks stormy,” he quipped.
Bitcoin’s Near-Term Catalysts to Watch For
Beyond the tariff tempest, there are other winds to watch. Kooner notes that regulatory developments, particularly those tied to the upcoming GENIUS Act, could play a significant role. “It’s like waiting for the next chapter in a great novel,” he said, his voice tinged with anticipation.
“Bitcoin’s climb near all-time highs is anchored by consistent ETF flows and strong institutional interest. The upcoming catalysts: legislative clarity, ETF innovation, tariff news, and inflation prints serve as potential accelerants,” Jag Kooner, Bitfinex.
If Bitcoin breaches its all-time high of $111,000, it could signal a bullish trend. However, a significant macro shock could send it back to the safety of the $105,000 to $108,000 range. “It’s a dance, a delicate balance between hope and caution,” Kooner concluded, his words a mix of wisdom and a touch of humor. 🕺✨
