Trump’s economic policies fuel uncertainty in financial markets 

The crypto market is in turmoil due to rising economic uncertainties under Trump’s administration despite his promise to endorse the crypto industry.

Trump’s economic uncertainties have triggered a widespread risk-off market sentiment, leading investors to avoid risky assets and investment vehicles like crypto.
