We go partially. First, let’s clarify what the “day of liberation” is. It deserves an epic name and a Hollywood movie, but it’s simply a name given by US President Donald Trump. Advertisement that will be known about import duties this afternoon.
Trump pointed out as the US’s “day of Liberation” on April 2, 2025, and is linked to the beginning of a protectionist policy aimed at “liberating” the country by other countries.
As reported by Cryptootics, this “customs war” unleashed by Trump directly affects imports from more than 12 countries where members of Mexico, Canada, China and the European Union are found.
The new tariff policies Trump has promoted as a tool to strengthen the US economy will not arrive without controversy.
The main problem is that It could cause commercial retaliation from affected countriesIncreases the cost of essential products Feeding inflation When the global economy is already facing uncertainty.
For financial markets, this “day of liberation” may be the beginning of a storm. And here Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency enter the scene.
Bitcoin: Evacuation or risk?
In theory, Bitcoin must be affected by this type of event. With a fixed supply and a diversified design of 21 million units, the BTC is independent of single government policies and changes in Fiat currency, such as the dollar.
Advocates of “digital gold” argue that this independence has become an ideal shelter for economic manipulation and geopolitical tensions. But this practice tells a different story.
Bitcoin has gained traction – until it becomes an experiment cypherpunk Its dynamics have changed to assets of market capitalization that put it among the 10 most valuable in the world.
The entry of financial giants like BlackRock, Fidelity and Tesla and the Bitcoin ETF boom have changed that perception. For many institutional investors, BTC is not a safe haven, it is a risky assetrivals the actions of high-growth technology companies. This mentality directly affects your actions towards events such as the “Day of Liberation.”
As international tensions rise “Like the tariff war that threatens world trade.” Markets tend to respond with risk aversion. Investors sell unstable assets such as actions and cryptocurrencies, and take shelter in more stable options such as treasures and gold bonds.
This phenomenon explains why, but as recent gold has reported that as cryptootics, Bitcoin could face low-term low pressure, gold has reached a new historic maximum.
This correlation with the risk market may seem like a contradiction to those who view Bitcoin as the strongest money in the world.
However, while Gold demonstrates its ability to shine in times of crisis, it should be considered that BTC has been around for over 15 years and still struggles to integrate it as a preparation for universal values. However, this difference does not mean Bitcoin’s failure, but rather a natural stage of its evolution.
Volatility Opportunities
For a confident Bitcoiner, these waterfalls are not the cause of alarms, they are the cause of opportunity. Every time BTC prices collapse – either by tariffs, regulations, or macroeconomic uncertainty.” There is a possibility that more Satoshu (or SAT) will accumulate at a lower price.
The logic is clear. If the supply of BTC is limited and its core value exists in its rarity and decentralization, the current revision is noise only in the ascending route in the long run.
This mentality relies on the belief that Bitcoin will mature over time. As more people and institutions adopt it — as protection against inflation, as an alternative to banking systems, or as a value preparation — its volatility will decline and its role in the global financial system will solidify.
Interestingly, Trump’s tariff war can even accelerate this process by revealing the vulnerability of the Fear economy. If tariffs generate inflation or devalue a country’s currency, more people can turn to assets such as BTC for protection.
What will happen with Bitcoin today? Opinions are divided
Analysts and traders are expressing themselves about what will happen today. In a statement sent to Cryptootics, Kraken’s exchange strategy director Thomas Perfumo said:
«While holders of the “Day of Liberation” and related tariff measures continue to create restlessness, many of the expected impacts do not seem to affect the cryptocurrency market. Furthermore, in the CME Bitcoin Options market, implicit volatility (PUT) of sales options has increased significantly in relation to purchasing options (calls), indicating that operators are actively covering potential risks of falls »
Thomas Perfumo, Head of Strategy De Kraken.
Add a perfume that said that policy ads of this magnitude could have caused strong falls or long upward compression (Long aperture)». Instead, he says, “We see more resilience and visual markets today driven by the adoption of cryptocurrency derivatives and the adoption of stronger risk management practices.”
In summary, for the experts in this financial market, “Unless the announcement is significantly diverted from what has already been pointed out, there is no significant movement in the short term.”.
Spanish trader Oscar Ontagnon (also known as “Santino Crypto” in X) is more skeptical of Bitcoin’s intolerance prior to this scenario. He believes that today will be a significant day for the digital asset market.
In the case of ontañón, “We arrive at the moment of truth in Bitcoin.”. He claims it is “time to break the bearish trend that began in January, or again to fall to a price below $80,000.”
You will have to wait until 4pm (Washington, DC Time) to finally learn about the ads that Trump or its spokesperson gives and how it will affect the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets.
