Recent weeks have seen Bitcoin experiencing a significant surge, surpassing the $4,500 mark and raising questions about what might be driving this upward trend. While analysts agree that factors like decentralized finance (DeFi) growth and increasing institutional investment are playing a role, experts warn of potential economic instability stemming from increased tariffs on imports. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has even hinted at legal action against the new tariffs implemented by the Trump administration, citing concerns about potential overreach. This potentially signals a shift in the US’s approach to international trade policy and suggests a possible ripple effect on the global economy.
