Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsCryptocurrency investors are increasingly moving capital into stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in a bid to avoid volatility ahead of US President Donald Trump\u2019s widely anticipated tariff announcement on April 2.
\nIncreasingly more capital is flowing into stablecoins and the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector, which refers to financial products and tangible assets such as real estate and fine art minted on the blockchain.
\n\u201cStablecoins and RWAs continue to see steady inflows of capital as safe havens in the current uncertain market,\u201d crypto intelligence platform IntoTheBlock wrote in a March 31 X post.
\n\u201cHowever, because these assets reside on-chain, even slight shifts in sentiment can trigger significant price movements, driven by the lower barriers to reallocating capital in real time,\u201d the firm noted.

\n\u201cMany investors were expecting economic tailwinds following Trump’s inauguration as president, but increased geopolitical tensions, tariffs and general political uncertainty are making investors more cautious.\u201d
\n\u201cThis is not unreasonable, as even though global growth forecasts remain positive, growth expectations have decreased globally in recent months,\u201d he added.

\nThe prospect of a global trade war has heightened inflation-related concerns, causing a significant decline in both cryptocurrency and traditional equity markets.

\nThe April 2 announcement is expected to detail reciprocal trade tariffs targeting top US trading partners. The measures aim to reduce the country\u2019s estimated $1.2 trillion goods trade deficit and boost domestic manufacturing.

\nInvestor sentiment pressured by April 2 Trump tariff announcement
\nGlobal tariff fears and uncertainty around the upcoming announcement continue to pressure investor sentiment in global markets.
\n\u201cRisk appetite remains muted amid tariff threats from President Trump and ongoing macro uncertainty,\u201d Iliya Kalchev, dispatch analyst at digital asset investment platform Nexo, told Cointelegraph.
\nMeanwhile, RWAs reached a new cumulative all-time high of over $17 billion on Feb. 3, and are currently less than 0.5% away from surpassing the $20 billion milestone, according to data from RWA.xyz.
