Трамп запускает вертолетные деньги: эффект на рынок биткоина может быть подобен 2020 году Translation: Trump launches helicopter money: the impact on the bitcoin market may resemble 2020.

U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed to distribute between $1,000 and $2,000 to citizens funded by revenue from import tariffs. Analysts from Bitfinex believe this could serve as an additional catalyst for the cryptocurrency market.

In an interview with One America News Network, the U.S. leader stated:

*“We are going to take some action regarding one issue. First and foremost, we will pay off debt. Because people allowed it to grow uncontrollably. We can also make payments to individuals, akin to dividends for the American populace.”*

According to him, funds from tariffs are «just starting to come in.» As per estimates from Fox Business, the government has already collected $214 billion since the beginning of the year.

Trump anticipates that tariffs will ultimately generate “over a trillion dollars a year” for the United States. A portion of these funds is expected to be allocated towards reducing the national debt, which currently exceeds $37 trillion.

This statement was made amidst political and economic uncertainty in the country. On October 1, the U.S. government *halted operations* because Democrats and Republicans couldn’t reach an agreement on healthcare funding.

On October 7, the Senate is set to revisit this issue. Predictions from users on the Polymarket platform suggest that the shutdown will not be resolved before October 15.

Analysts at Bitfinex labeled Trump’s stimulus package as a «new catalyst for the cryptocurrency market.»

They drew a parallel with 2020 — back then, similar payments made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic spurred a surge of retail investor funds, boosting the momentum of the first cryptocurrency.

*“Users injected significant liquidity into both traditional and digital markets, contributing to the explosive growth of Bitcoin,”* the experts stated.

A study from the John F. Kennedy School of Government released in 2023 *confirmed* that “money from thin air” enhanced investments in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies overall.

In March 2020, the U.S. President *signed* a $2 trillion initiative that included payments of up to $1,200 for individuals with an adjusted gross income of up to $75,000.

During this period, the price of digital gold skyrocketed by 1,050% — from $6,000 in March 2020 to $69,000 by November 2021. However, this rally coincided with a period of *quantitative easing* — the Federal Reserve *announced* a $4 trillion bond-buying program, augmenting the money supply.

Notably, on October 7, the first cryptocurrency *set* a new historical record above $126,000, attracting a wave of retail investors to the market.
