As of February 3, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant volatility, primarily due to recent geopolitical developments. President Donald Trump's administration has imposed new tariffs: 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico, and 10% on Chinese goods. These actions have heightened concerns about global trade tensions and potential inflationary impacts.
In response, major cryptocurrencies have seen substantial declines:
Bitcoin (BTC): Fell below the $100,000 mark, reaching a three-week low.
Ethereum (ETH): Dropped nearly 24%, trading below $2,500.
XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE): Experienced declines of approximately 30% and 23%, respectively.
These market movements have led to over $2 billion in leveraged liquidations, with significant losses among traders holding long positions.
Analysts are closely monitoring the situation, noting that the renewed trade tensions could inject inflation into the global economy, complicating central banks' efforts to manage interest rates. The on-chain options market indicates a 22% probability of Bitcoin prices falling to $75,000 by the end of March, up from 10% the previous week.
Investors are advised to stay informed about these developments, as the evolving geopolitical landscape continues to influence cryptocurrency valuations.
