#CryptoTariffDrop U.S. stock futures fell sharply on Wednesday as China announced sweeping retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Dow futures sank 790 points, or 2.1%, while S&P 500 futures dropped 1.8%. Nasdaq-100 futures also declined, down 1.5%.
As of Apr. 8, the S&P 500 has dropped below the 5,000 mark for the first time in nearly a year and is now down 18.9% from its February high, close to the technical threshold of a bear market.
According to LSEG, S&P 500 companies have lost $5.8 trillion in market value over the past four days, marking the steepest four-day decline since the index was created. Japan’s Nikkei and other Asian markets have also started showing similar downward trends.
Crypto markets have not been immune. The global crypto market cap has fallen to $2.45 trillion, down from $3.66 trillion in mid-January, just before Trump’s inauguration.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, which tracks market sentiment based on price volatility, trading volume, and social trends, has fallen to 18. This level, categorized as “extreme fear,” hasn’t been seen since June 2022.
Given these conditions, there’s growing speculation about whether the Federal Reserve might consider a rate cut in the near term, and if so, what that could mean for digital assets.

#MarketSentimentToday Business leaders are sounding the alarm over the potential fallout from Trump tariffs. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Monday that "Most CEOs I talk to would say we are probably in a recession right now." JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, in his annual shareholder letter Monday, wrote that tariffs are likely to cause "inflationary outcomes" and "will slow down growth" of an "already weakening" economy. And Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone, a megadonor to the Republican Party, called the 46% import duties on Vietnam "bulls---."
DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach said on CNBC's "Closing Bell" Monday that he's concerned over the lack of bounce in the market, and would hold cash until the S&P 500 hits a "sustained bottom." Here's where Gundlach thinks the S&P 500 could end up before it starts to rise again.
#Tariffs U.S. markets mostly fell Monday. The S&P 500 lost 0.23% and was briefly in bear market territory — a 20% fall from its recent high — during the trading session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.91%, and swung 2,595 points from low to high, its largest intraday point swing ever recorded.
But the Nasdaq Composite edged up 0.1% as investors bought some megacap tech stocks — but Apple was bludgeoned again. Asia-Pacific markets climbed Tuesday, rebounding from heavy losses the previous day. Japan's Nikkei 225 jumped nearly 6% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index added 0.3%.
#TrumpTariffs The meaning of the word "reciprocity" is being strained by the Trump administration. Not only did the White House use a bizarre formula to determine the degree of its "reciprocal" tariffs on other countries, but it also refused to return the favor when Vietnam and the European Union offered to remove tariffs on U.S. imports.
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that it's Vietnam's "nontariff cheating that matters," citing examples such as how Chinese goods are often exported from Vietnam and intellectual property theft. This suggests that the Trump administration sees tariffs not just as a means to address U.S. trade imbalance (which, itself, is already not a good indicator of economic health), but also a way of fundamentally changing the way global trade and manufacturing are being conducted.
Business leaders, many of them steering companies that rely on — and have profited from — the current economic paradigm, are starting to voice their concerns and even vent their displeasure at Trump tariffs. Some are supporters and donors of the Republican Party. With the Trump administration's idiosyncratic understanding of "reciprocity," however, it seems unlikely it will repay their goodwill with its own.

#BTCvsMarkets Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were under pressure Thursday after President Donald Trump's big tariffs reveal jolted the stock market.
The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last 5% lower at $81,914.63, according to Coin Metrics. Ether fell 6% and the token tied to Solana dropped 11%.
Meanwhile, stocks cratered, with the broad market S&P 500 posting its biggest one-day loss since 2020. Shares of Coinbase and MicroStrategy lost roughly 7% and 10%, respectively.
Investors were rattled after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs of at least 10% and even higher for some countries, intensifying fears of a global trade war.
"Bitcoin moves at the intersection of narrative, liquidity, and leverage. Right now, it's mostly trading like a high-beta macro asset, tracking real yields, rate expectations, and dollar strength," said Ben Kurland, CEO at crypto research platform DYOR.
"Yields pulled back, risk assets caught a bid, and bitcoin responded instantly," he added. "It's not about crypto fundamentals today, it's about global liquidity signals and positioning. When real rates dip and the dollar softens, bitcoin breathes."
Bitcoin has been trading in the $80,000 to $90,000 range for most of the past month, as investors take cues from the equities market absent a crypto-specific catalyst.
Crypto markets showed resilience relative to equities, according to David Hernandez, crypto investment specialist at 21Shares, who noted that bitcoin holding above key technical support signals strong underlying demand.
"Although the tariff rates were slightly higher than expectations, the announcement provided much-needed clarity on the scope and scale of the policy," Hernandez said. "Markets thrive on certainty, and with speculation now largely removed, institutional investors may see an opportunity over the coming days to take advantage of compressed valuations."

#CryptoTariffDrop U.S. crypto stocks declined on Thursday after President Donald Trump's latest round of sweeping tariffs rattled investor confidence due to rising global trade tensions, sparking a sell-off in riskier assets. Crypto exchange Coinbase Global (COIN.O), opens new tab fell about 7.7%, while major bitcoin holder Strategy (MSTR.O), opens new tab dropped 5.6%. Among miners, MARA Holdings (MARA.O), opens new tab, Riot Platforms (RIOT.O), opens new tab and Bitfarms slipped about 8.3%, 8.7% and 5%, respectively.
The broad losses underscore the widespread fallout of the tariffs on multiple asset classes. Bitcoin , the biggest cryptocurrency, dropped 3.9%, while ether dived 5.2%. Even though the Trump administration has signaled a willingness to embrace crypto and adopt a lighter approach to regulation, broader economic instability tied to the sector could still impact companies. Marcin Kazmierczak, chief operating officer at blockchain firm RedStone, said the declines point to a growing correlation between digital assets and macroeconomic policy shifts.

#TrumpTariffs On Wednesday, President Trump unveiled new tariffs on imports to the US which will form a central part of his government's new trade policy.
In his speech, he listed the new tariffs to be imposed on a number of countries, including the country's biggest trading partners, and a more complete list was released later by the White House.
No further tariffs were announced for Canada or Mexico. Both countries had already seen tariffs imposed in Feburary - though these have since been partially rolled back.
China will now see an effective tariff of 54%, as the new 34% tariff will be added to the 20% tariff already in place.
$BTC The live Bitcoin price today is $82,814.67 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of $34,119,846,729 USD. Bitcoin is down 0.95% in the last 24 hours. The current CoinMarketCap ranking is #1, with a live market cap of $1,643,560,683,196 USD. It has a circulating supply of 19,846,250 BTC coins and a max. supply of 21,000,000 BTC coins.
Bitcoin’s total supply is limited by its software and will never exceed 21,000,000 coins. New coins are created during the process known as “mining”: as transactions are relayed across the network, they get picked up by miners and packaged into blocks, which are in turn protected by complex cryptographic calculations.
As compensation for spending their computational resources, the miners receive rewards for every block that they successfully add to the blockchain. At the moment of Bitcoin’s launch, the reward was 50 bitcoins per block: this number gets halved with every 210,000 new blocks mined — which takes the network roughly four years. As of 2020, the block reward has been halved three times and comprises 6.25 bitcoins.

#JELLYJELLYFuturesAlert The latest upheaval around Hyperliquid results from an event involving the JELLY token, a somewhat new cryptocurrency introduced as part of a Web3 social media project. Combining short bets on Hyperliquid with on-chain spot buys, a trader allegedly performed a complex move that resulted in a $13.5 million unrealized loss for Hyperliquid’s automated market maker vault (HLP). Hyperliquid’s validator responded by setting convened and voting to delist the JELLY perpetual futures, therefore forcibly closing all positions and settling the market at a price much below the going decentralized exchange rates.
The crypto community has spoken strongly against Hyperliquid’s unilateral delist of JELLY and force-settle positions. Critics—including well-known personalities like Bitget CEO Gracy Chen and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes—have questioned the platform’s distributed character.
Chen went as far as implying that Hyperliquid might be on a road to become “FTX 2.0,” citing the “immature, unethical, and unprofessional” handling of the matter and the hazardous precedent set by the forced residence. Similar ideas were expressed by Hayes, who said the episode revealed Hyperliquid’s centralized approach of governance.
Hyperliquid justified its actions by claiming that delisting was a required step to stop a possible $240 million liquidation endangering its whole liquidity pool. Considered in charge of network governance, the platform’s sixteen validators all voted for delisting.
Although Hyperliquid’s Hyper Foundation promises to reimburse most impacted users—except from those flagged for suspicious activity—the incident has sparked a discussion on the degree of centralization in DeFi systems such as Hyperliquid, where a small group of validators can make such significant decisions.
#WYSTStablecoin The State of Wyoming has officially begun testing its state-issued stablecoin, called the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST), across several blockchain networks. This is potentially the first fiat-backed and fully reserved stablecoin issued by a US public entity.
The announcement was made on March 26, with Wyoming officials sharing more details during a fireside chat at the DC Blockchain Summit.
Wyoming Governor and Stable Token Commission Chairman Mark Gordon and Executive Director Anthony Apollo discussed the state’s leadership in blockchain regulation and digital asset innovation.
Apollo confirmed that WYST has been deployed on testnets for Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and Base, using valueless tokens for initial testing.
WYST is designed to comply with statutory requirements that mandate over-collateralization using cash and US Treasuries. Interest generated from these reserves will be deposited into Wyoming’s School Foundation Fund, reinforcing a broader state-level utility for the initiative.
