The EU is gearing up for what some are calling a "trade bazooka"—essentially their nuclear option against mounting US trade pressure. We're talking about sweeping import and service restrictions aimed at American goods. This kind of geopolitical friction doesn't just affect traditional markets; it ripples through crypto too. When major economic blocs clash, capital flows shift, volatility spikes, and risk-off sentiment typically hits digital assets harder. Worth keeping on your radar as these negotiations unfold.

Once a trade war erupts, the crypto world has to shiver along. I've seen this routine too many times. --- Here we go again. Every time geopolitical tensions rise, funds rush into stablecoins. Can the EU's "Trade Rocket Launcher" bring down BTC this time? --- Honestly, these times might actually be opportunities. Everyone's panicking and selling, while the smart money is accumulating. --- Wait, does the EU really dare to go head-to-head with the US? If that happens... crypto will be finished. --- That's why I've always said holding USD stablecoins is wise. In chaotic times, it provides a safety net. --- Risk assets are bound to suffer, but who can predict exactly when the crash will happen? --- Trade friction → Capital flight → Altcoins die first. This logic is solid.

When the US-Europe trade war escalates, the crypto circle is the first to collapse. If you can sell during this wave, sell now.
