Stablecoins, tokenized assets get Trump tariffs

Cryptocurrency investors are increasingly moving capital in Stablecoins and Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) in a bid to avoid volatility ahead of US President Donald Trump who is expected to announce tariff announcement on April 2.
Increasing more capital flows into stablecoins and the Real-World Asset tokenization (RWA) Sector, which refers to financial products and tangible properties such as real estate and fine art that are blocked by blockchain.
“Stablecoins and Rwas continue to see stable capital flow as safe havens in the current uncertain market,” Crypto Intelligence Platform Intotheblock wrote on a March 31 x Post.
“However, since these properties live on-chain, even slight emotional transfers can trigger significant price movements, driven by lower barriers to reallocating capital in real time,” the company said.

Flying to safety is primarily linked to geopolitical tensions and global trade concerns, according to Juan Pellicer, Senior Research Analyst in IntotheBlock:
“Many investors rely on economic tailwinds that follow Trump’s inauguration as president, but increased geopolitical tensions, tariffs and general political uncertainty make investors more careful.”
“It doesn’t make sense, even though global growth forecasts remain positive, growth expectations have been reduced worldwide in recent months,” he added.
