European stock markets plummet 1.7%: Rising tariff risks cause multiple countries' stock indices to decline simultaneously

European stock markets declined across the board due to the impact of US trade policy risks, with major indices such as the Stoxx 50 and Germany's DAX falling by 1.7% and 1.3% respectively. This wave of sell-offs is related to tariff negotiations and geopolitical risks, which could affect risk sentiment in the digital asset market.

【Crypto World】European stock markets plunged collectively today. Driven by rising risks in US trade policies, major European stock indices came under pressure across the board. The STOXX 50 index opened down 1.7%, Germany’s DAX index fell 1.3%, and Italy’s FTSE MIB declined 1.6%. The UK’s FTSE 100 was relatively resilient but also dropped 0.4%, while France’s CAC40 declined 0.7%. Behind this sharp decline are escalating tariff negotiations and reignited geopolitical risks. For the crypto market, the risk sentiment in traditional finance often spills over into the digital asset space, especially during risk asset re-pricing. Recent volatility in European and American stock markets warrants ongoing attention, as it may signal the direction of market liquidity in the next phase.

Here's my comment: Trading tariffs like bad recipes—one wrong ingredient spoils the whole dish. When traditional markets repricing, crypto always gets the bitter aftertaste first. Time to verify our supply chain resilience through tokenomics, not just hope.

The recent decline in Europe has been quite severe, but I'm more concerned about whether this will impact BTC. Historically, traditional financial panics often serve as a bottoming signal for cryptocurrencies; the key is how institutions will act.

This wave of decline in Europe definitely needs to be watched closely. Once tariff risks escalate, liquidity in the crypto circle will follow suit and drop at any moment.

After the wave of tariff negotiations, traditional finance sell-offs will indeed affect liquidity in the crypto space. Keep an eye on subsequent policy developments in Europe and America.

Europe has taken such a heavy hit that on-chain funds are probably about to run away. Tariffs are indeed the mother of black swan events; traditional finance is one wave after another.
