Bitcoin Price Dips Following Trump’s Tariff Increase Announcement
- Bitcoin’s price fell to $67,992.96 after President Trump announced a global tariff increase from 10% to 15%.
- The announcement followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limited Trump’s power to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
- Initially, Bitcoin experienced a brief uptick of about 0.5% before declining nearly by the same percentage.
- As of now, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $68,000, while Ether has decreased by 0.45%, settling at $1,980.
The tariff hike comes shortly after the Supreme Court’s decision, which deemed previous tariffs imposed by Trump as unlawful. This development has caused immediate reactions in the cryptocurrency market.
