Bitcoin Decline Amidst Tariff Concerns

The world’s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is experiencing a decline again, according to the latest data.

BTC price has dropped by approximately 1.50% in the last hour.

The reason for the decline is thought to be US President Donald Trump’s recent announcement to increase customs duties on various countries, including a 25% duty on the European Union. These announcements coincided with the recent decline in Bitcoin’s price.

Analysts believe that Trump’s tariffs may fuel inflation in the US, causing interest rates to remain high for a longer period. This has impacted both the cryptocurrency and traditional markets, including gold.

During Trump’s initial presidency, the Bitcoin price entered a bull cycle and exceeded $100,000, largely due to his favorable stance towards cryptocurrencies. However, recent statements from Trump and his failure to fulfill promises like the strategic BTC reserve have raised concerns among cryptocurrency participants.

In addition to the volatility in the market, significant liquidations have occurred. Over the last 24 hours, $376 million was liquidated across all cryptocurrencies, with $238 million in long positions.
