The cryptocurrency market faced a sudden and sharp sell-off today, with Bitcoin plunging below $93,000 and triggering hundreds of millions in liquidations as renewed tariff threats from President Trump sent shockwaves through risk assets. Major coins bled red while safe havens like gold surged to fresh record highs, raising questions about whether escalating trade tensions are the primary catalyst behind this crypto market crash.
Bitcoin dropped as much as 3.6% to around $92,000, according to data from CoinMarketCap and CoinDesk, wiping out recent gains and dragging the total market capitalization down by over 2%. Over $780 million in leveraged long positions were liquidated across exchanges, with Bitcoin and altcoins like XRP and Dogecoin bearing the brunt of the cascade. The broader risk-off sentiment spilled into equities, with Asian and European futures declining sharply. At the heart of the turmoil lies Trump’s fresh tariff threats against eight European nations—Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Britain—over the ongoing Greenland dispute, prompting fears of retaliation and a full-blown transatlantic trade war.
As CoinRemark posted on X: “#Crypto Sell-Off Wipes Out $788M in Long Bets as Trump’s Tariff War Drags #Bitcoin and #XRP Lower.” Meanwhile, analysts noted that the move mirrored classic risk-asset behavior, where uncertainty over higher import costs, potential inflation, and slower global growth pushes investors away from volatile holdings like cryptocurrencies toward traditional havens. Gold climbed to $4,690 per ounce and silver hit $94, underscoring the flight to safety.
