US Recession Fears Surge as Trump Tariffs Spark Market Panic

Crypto prediction markets are reflecting growing recession concerns, with Polymarket signaling an elevated 57% probability of a US economic downturn by 2025. This surge in odds follows President Donald Trump’s recent imposition of tariffs on various imports and his stance on trade deficits. As the global digital assets market grapples with uncertainty, experts are predicting a significant slowdown in the US economy, with growth projections revised to just 1.4% for 2025. The impact is evident in crypto markets, where Bitcoin has experienced a decline of over 11% in recent weeks.
