Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrencies experienced sharp declines on Monday following the surge of U.S. trade tensions, leading to a broad market sell-off.

Market Reaction Across Cryptocurrencies

🔻 Bitcoin diminished by 2.5%, landing at $96,749 with an intraday low hitting $91,690, its nadir in three weeks.
🔻 Ethereum fell 18% to $2,567.26, marking a significant drop to levels not seen since early November.

Reasons Behind Crypto Withdrawals

• Trump’s tariffs (25% for Mexico and Canada, 10% for China) raising inflation concerns.
• Risk-off sentiment leading investors to divest from precarious assets, inclusive of cryptocurrencies.
• Macroeconomic uncertainty influencing liquidity for digital assets.
