Cryptocurrency investors are accelerating the transfer of funds to stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWA) to avoid volatility ahead of the widely anticipated tariff announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2.

An increasing amount of funds is flowing into the stablecoin and tokenized real-world asset (RWA) space. These tokenized assets refer to financial products and physical assets minted on the blockchain, such as real estate and artwork.

These tokenized assets include financial products and physical assets minted on the blockchain, such as real estate and artwork.

The crypto data analytics platform IntoTheBlock wrote in a post on the X platform on March 31: "Stablecoins and RWAs continue to receive stable inflows as a safe haven in the current uncertain market."

The company noted: "However, since these assets exist on-chain, the threshold for real-time reallocation of funds is low, and even slight changes in sentiment can trigger significant price volatility."

IntoTheBlock's senior research analyst Juan Pellicer stated that this risk-averse behavior is mainly attributed to geopolitical tensions and global trade concerns:

"Many investors initially expected that Trump's presidency would bring economic benefits, but escalating geopolitical tensions, tariff issues, and overall political uncertainty have made investors more cautious."

He added: "This caution is not without reason, as although global growth expectations remain optimistic, growth forecasts have been broadly downgraded in recent months."

The prospect of a global trade war has heightened inflation-related concerns, leading to significant declines in both the cryptocurrency and traditional stock markets.

Since Trump announced tariffs on Chinese goods on the day of his inauguration on January 20, Bitcoin has fallen 19% over the two months, and the S&P 500 (SPX) index has dropped over 7%.

The announcement expected on April 2 is anticipated to detail reciprocal trade tariffs against major U.S. trading partners. These measures aim to reduce the country's estimated $1.2 trillion goods trade deficit and promote domestic manufacturing.

Global tariff concerns and the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming announcement continue to put pressure on global market investor sentiment.

Iliya Kalchev, a scheduling analyst at digital asset investment platform Nexo, told Cointelegraph: "Under President Trump's tariff threats and ongoing macro uncertainty, market risk appetite remains subdued."

Meanwhile, according to RWA.xyz, RWA reached a historic high of over $17 billion on February 3, and is currently less than 0.5% away from breaking the $20 billion milestone.

Some industry observers suggest that the lack of upward momentum in Bitcoin may drive RWA to reach a historic high of $50 billion by the end of 2025, as its increased liquidity will help RWA capture a significant share of the $450 trillion global asset market.
