According to Odaily, Saxo Bank strategist John Hardy has suggested that the cryptocurrency market and gold could see significant benefits if trade tariffs proposed by U.S. President-elect Trump lead other countries to seek alternatives to the U.S. dollar. These tariffs are expected to have severe repercussions on global trade by disrupting the necessary supply of dollars.
The BRICS nations might explore transactions using digital currencies backed by gold as a response to these tariffs. Additionally, cryptocurrencies pegged to gold could also come into play. This shift could potentially quadruple the cryptocurrency market, pushing its value beyond $10 trillion. Concurrently, the U.S. dollar might depreciate by 20% against major currencies and by 30% relative to gold.
