$BTC Bitcoin falls below $82,000 after Trump's announcement of new tariffs

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $82,000 following former President Donald Trump's announcement of the implementation of new 10% tariffs on imported products. This measure has generated a wave of uncertainty in the financial markets, directly affecting the crypto ecosystem.

The negative reaction was not limited to BTC. Other cryptocurrencies also reflected the impact of fear of a possible global economic slowdown:

Ethereum (ETH) dropped 2.9%, settling at $1,812.

XRP fell 3.6%, trading at $2.04.

Such movements often indicate a trend of risk aversion among investors, who tend to steer away from volatile assets when the macroeconomic outlook is threatened by protectionist measures.

Despite the drop, medium-term projections remain ambitious. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has indicated that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2025, especially if the U.S. Federal Reserve resumes monetary easing policies.

The cryptocurrency market continues to be highly sensitive to geopolitical and economic movements, and investors should act with caution in such scenarios.
