#CryptoTariffDrop On April 9, 2025, Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies experienced significant losses amid escalating global trade tensions. Bitcoin dropped 4.8% to $76.137, while XRP fell 8.9% to $1.79. Ether decreased 8.2% to $1,453, and Solana declined 7.3% to $103. These declines coincided with broader financial market turbulence after China announced an 84% tariff on U.S. goods, intensifying trade disputes that began when President Donald Trump introduced sweeping tariffs on April 2. The situation prompted retaliatory measures from international partners including China, Canada, and the EU contributing to widespread market selloffs. Cryptocurrencies have closely mirrored equity market movements during this period of uncertainty.
