Amid the chaos created by U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/strong> abrupt and contradictory global tariff policies<\/strong>, the crypto market<\/strong> defied expectations and remained surprisingly resilient. According to NYDIG Head of Research Greg Cipolaro<\/strong>, digital assets have shown \u201crelatively orderly<\/strong>\u201d behavior during this period of global risk-off sentiment \u2014 a trend not commonly seen during such turbulent times.<\/p>\n

Cipolaro noted that crypto perpetual futures funding rates<\/strong> have remained consistently positive<\/strong>. Despite a $480 million liquidation occurring on April 6\u20137 following Trump\u2019s tariff announcement on April 2, this figure is considered minor compared to previous major sell-offs. Meanwhile, Tether (USDT)<\/strong> briefly dipped below its $1 peg but avoided a sharp depreciation.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s sweeping tariffs on all nations, introduced on April 2 and enforced on April 9, were delayed just hours later for 90 days. The U.S. imposed a 10% base tariff<\/strong> on countries excluding China<\/strong>, which still faces tariffs of up to 145%<\/strong>. These sudden shifts injected a new layer of uncertainty into both traditional and digital asset markets.<\/p>\n
