Trade tensions are heating up, pushing investors to explore alternative assets like Bitcoin and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Despite a temporary pause on higher tariffs, President Trump raised tariffs on Chinese goods, highlighting deeper issues in the global monetary system. This has led to a surge in tokenized gold trading, reaching a two-year high of over $1 billion. RWAs have also hit record levels, surpassing $20 billion. Analysts suggest these tariffs might be a negotiation tactic, not a permanent shift, with potential impacts on global markets and crypto recovery by 2025.
