Cryptocurrency Prices Decline Amid Escalating Tariff Tensions
According to BlockBeats, on March 11, cryptocurrency prices continued to fall, with Bitcoin reaching its lowest level since November of last year. The ongoing tariff tensions have raised concerns about the economy, overshadowing U.S. President Donald Trump's recent supportive statements regarding cryptocurrencies.
Fears that Trump's tariffs and government dismissals could hinder U.S. economic growth have put pressure on risk assets like cryptocurrencies. As investors seek safer options, U.S. stock markets have declined, while U.S. Treasury bonds have seen an increase.
Nikolay Karpenko, head of B2C2, noted that although Trump's statement on cryptocurrency strategic reserves initially sparked optimism, the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions led to aggressive market sell-offs, quickly dissipating the rebound.
