Crypto markets sell off as US stocks and global markets react to President Trump’s new tariff threats. Will the tensions put a stop to Bitcoin’s start-of-year recovery?
Key takeaway:
Rising US and Japan bond yields signal macroeconomic stress, dragging the total crypto market capitalization 32% below its Oct 2025 peak.
Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) retested their lowest levels in more than two weeks after crypto and stock markets digested US President Donald Trump’s fresh round of tariff threats. The potential tariffs are an attempt by the administration to convince Denmark to reconsider its control of Greenland. European nations have shown little willingness to negotiate, prompting crypto and equities investors to adopt a more risk-averse stance.
