On Monday, the cryptocurrency market experienced volatility, with Bitcoin dropping 3.79% within an hour before rebounding. Meanwhile, in traditional markets, gold and silver prices hit record highs, and Nasdaq futures declined. The trigger was Trump's tariff threats against Danish territory, prompting the EU to consider imposing additional tariffs on US exports, which increased the appeal of safe-haven assets and affected risk assets like Bitcoin. Market sentiment is expected to remain volatile.

【CryptoWorld】On Monday morning, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility. Bitcoin plummeted 3.79% within just one hour, dropping from $95,500 directly to $91,900, then partially recovered to around $92,800. This sharp decline is not an isolated event—looking at traditional markets, the spot gold and silver markets tell a different story, with prices opening sharply higher and hitting new all-time highs. The Nasdaq futures also declined by 1%.

The trigger behind this movement points to geopolitical tensions. Over the weekend, Trump issued tariff threats regarding Denmark’s autonomous territory, Greenland. Subsequently, several EU countries began to formulate countermeasures, with reports suggesting possible tariffs on US exports worth €93 billion. Such trade frictions often increase the appeal of safe-haven assets like gold and silver, while putting pressure on risk assets—it’s no surprise that Bitcoin was affected at this juncture. Market sentiment is still watching policy developments, and further volatility is expected.

Here we go again, tariffs are truly the killer in the crypto world. Gold has hit new highs, while BTC is still taking hits, it's hilarious. Whenever Trump opens his mouth, the market explodes; this rhythm is really hard to sustain. The surge in safe-haven assets is quite ironic, indicating everyone is panicking. With such high volatility, staying calm during the bottoming phase is essential. 930 billion euros in tariffs—if this fight continues, the crypto space won't be spared. Gold and silver have already moved, but Bitcoin is still here, which is quite interesting. With such poor policy expectations, it's better to stay cautious in the short term.

Once again, tariffs are to blame. Gold soars to the sky while Bitcoin crashes down. This show is really well performed.

It's Trump causing trouble again. Gold soars to the sky while Bitcoin gets hammered—this logic is truly amazing.
