US Dollar Declines and Cryptocurrency Falls Amid Trump-Era Economic Policies

Over the past year, under President Donald Trump's administration, the US has seen significant economic and financial shifts. Despite stock market gains driven by sectors like artificial intelligence, the US dollar has depreciated about 10% against major currencies since early 2025, affecting foreign returns on American assets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have declined sharply, contradicting earlier predictions of their rise as 'digital gold.' Trump's policies, including tariff impositions and crypto deregulation, have contributed to market volatility and investor uncertainty.
