[Reporter's Notebook] The Ever-Changing Coin Market in the Trump Era: How to Survive Through 'Separating the Wheat from the Chaff'

The actions of U.S. President Donald Trump are shaking not only the American political sphere but also the global financial markets. The world economy in the Trump era is caught in massive turbulence. In particular, the 'tariff bombs' dropped by Trump as a party to the U.S.-China trade war have had a profound impact on global supply chains and investor sentiment.

As such, the recently announced '90-day suspension of U.S.-China tariffs' measure brought short-term relief to the market and sparked a rapid recovery in the coin market. In fact, upon the news of the tariff suspension, major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin successfully rebounded simultaneously.

The digital asset market is structured to react sensitively to global economic uncertainty. It is the first to shake during a crisis and the first to rebound at signs of mitigation. However, in such a sensitive market, rather than momentary 'reflex benefits,' it is crucial to have the insight to see through the structural risks hidden beneath the surface. This is because the coin market is vulnerable to short-term positive news, while it fluctuates even more wildly in response to policy changes and political variables.

Given that this tariff suspension is merely a 'temporary patch,' it is uncertain how long this recovery phase will last. No one can yet be certain about the direction tariff policies will take after 90 days, or what impact Trump's future actions will have on the economy.

In a phase with so many variables, 'separating the wheat from the chaff' becomes more important than anything else. There is a need to realign strategies around projects equipped with ecosystem scalability, technological prowess, and community trust, rather than coins that surge simply on expectations. The period when the market temporarily catches its breath is an opportunity to identify assets with genuine underlying strength.

Ultimately, what investors need most in times like these is a 'cool-headed perspective' and 'selective judgment.' Not being swayed by short-term conciliatory gestures and managing risks with a long-term vision is the most realistic way to survive the ever-changing coin market of the Trump era.
