⚠️ Core Logic: Chaos is a ladder
During the Trump era, when trading cryptocurrencies, you must remember one iron law: the more volatile traditional finance (fiat currency/stock market) is, the higher the 'hedging' and 'alternative' value of cryptocurrencies (Crypto).
If the last European tariff crisis was a 'false alarm', then the upcoming potential conflict points may bring about substantial structural market changes. To make it easy for everyone to understand at a glance, I have condensed the complex macro projections into the strategy table below.
📊 Part One: 2026 Macroeconomic Black Swan · Cryptocurrency Response Strategy Table
Please watch in landscape mode or save this table; it is your 'lifeline' for the coming year.
🔍 Part Two: In-depth Analysis - Why are these three sectors a 'safe haven'?
Just looking at the table may not be enough; let's dig deeper into the logic behind it, so you can hold on and maintain your position.
1. Payment Public Chains & Stablecoins (The Payment Narrative)
Logic: If Trump wields tariffs against Latin America or Southeast Asia, the currencies of these countries will depreciate significantly (like the Turkish lira back then). To protect their hard-earned money, the only way for the common people is to exchange for dollars. But banks have foreign exchange controls; what to do? Buy USDT/USDC.
Who benefits the most? Whoever has fast transfer speeds and low fees is the king.
Solana (SOL): Fast speed, massive issuance of USDC on-chain.
Tron (TRX): Although controversial, in the remittance market of developing countries, it is absolutely the 'Pinduoduo,' with strong demand.
2. RWA (Real Assets on the Blockchain)
Logic: The higher the trade barriers, the harder it is for traditional capital to flow across borders. RWA (Real World Assets) actually builds a 'borderless financial market' on the blockchain.
How beginners see it: For example, if you want to buy U.S. Treasury bonds but are in a sanctioned country, through RWA projects, you can buy 'tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds' on-chain. As global trade frictions intensify, this sector will be a long-term gold mine in 2026.
3. BTC (Bitcoin): The eternal 'anchor of stability'
Logic: Regardless of whether Trump raises or lowers tariffs, the final result is likely an increase in U.S. debt.
Essential for beginners: The more the U.S. owes, the weaker the purchasing power of the dollar will be in the long run. Bitcoin does not belong to any country and is not controlled by any central bank; it is the 'greatest common divisor' in a chaotic global situation. No matter what happens, allocating 50% of your position in Bitcoin is the foundation for surviving in this circle.
💡 Part Three: 'Black Swan' Survival Mindset for Beginners
Having a strategy also requires the right mindset. Many beginners do not lose by choosing the wrong coin but by their operations.
Mindset One: Contrarian Investing
When the news is reporting 'Trade war erupts, global stock markets plummet,' do not sell your coins.
Reason: The crypto market reacts extremely quickly; by the time you see the news, the price has already dropped. Selling at this time usually means 'floor price.'
Correct posture: In such moments, open your exchange app; if you still have U (cash), buy in batches; if you don't have U, this is called 'lying flat and playing dead,' delete the app, and check back in a month.
Mindset Two: Pay attention to the 'Dollar Index' (DXY)
Don't just look at coin prices; take a glance at the Dollar Index (DXY).
Simple mnemonic: Trump's tariffs usually cause DXY to spike in the short term (dollars flowing back). When DXY rises, BTC typically drops; when DXY peaks, BTC enters a crazy bull market.
Practical operation: If tariff news comes out and DXY surges to 108 or even 110, it is the best buying point for Bitcoin, not a selling point.
Mindset Three: Avoid high leverage
In the 'Trump Market,' due to his unpredictable statements on Twitter (X), price spikes (sudden drastic fluctuations) are commonplace.
Advice: Even if you are extremely optimistic about the market, do not open contracts exceeding 3 times leverage. Surviving is the prerequisite for discussing getting rich.
📝 Conclusion: Chaos is a ladder
In 2026, Trump's policies may make the world more fragmented and turbulent. But for Crypto (cryptocurrency), which was born out of the 2008 financial crisis, chaos is not a chasm; chaos is a ladder.
Every threat of tariffs helps Bitcoin with free 'hedging advertisements.'
Every time fiat currency depreciates, it serves as 'user education' for stablecoin payments.
This is the big trend. If you understand this, you will understand the direction of wealth flow in the coming year.
