Crypto stocks down, IPOs punted amid tariff tumult
Crypto firms take a hit as Trump’s new tariffs rattle markets, sinking stocks and stalling IPO ambitions across sectors.
Cryptocurrency firms felt the heat from US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff rollout this week as market turbulence sent share prices tumbling and foiled initial public offering (IPO) plans.
From exchanges to Bitcoin (BTC) miners, crypto stocks suffered as much, if not more, than shares of other companies — despite the industry’s warm relationship with the US president.
On April 2, Trump announced he was placing tariffs of at least 10% on practically all imports into the United States and adding additional „reciprocal“ tariffs on some 57 countries.
