The recent surge in USDT users could be attributed to the economic uncertainty triggered by President Donald Trump’s Liberation Day blanket tariffs on products entering the U.S . Since then, Trump has declared a 90-day pause on tariffs affecting more than 180 countries and region, with the exception of China. Stablecoins provide users with a safe haven asset to store their funds, one that is evidently less volatile compared to other crypto assets. Therefore, many users have chosen to swap their crypto and fiat into stablecoins to protect it from market volatility. Most recently, Bloomberg published a report that highlighted how wealthy Indonesians have begun purchasing more USDT in recent months as a way to cope with concern regarding the economic uncertainty. According to the report, one private banker said Indonesians with a net worth ranging from $100 million and $400 million have invested 10% of their assets into crypto. On April 9, the Indonesian rupiah fell to near its record low, around Rp16,957 per dollar following tariff tensions. Since the beginning of March, trading for the USDT-rupiah pair, now contributes to more than a quarter of the Indonesian crypto exchange Tokocrypto’s daily volumes, according to the firm’s chief marketing officer, Wan Iqbal.
