Market Context
Bitcoin is trading at $113,499.05, after a 1.3% drop in 24 hours. Its market cap has reached $2.260 trillion, which also dipped this week. The daily trading volume has reached $69.02 billion, showing a slow market.
Meanwhile, Ethereum is priced at $4,142.32, with a market cap of $500.809 billion. Its trading volume has dropped to $48.3 billion, marking a 21.25% dip compared to the previous day.
Why BTC and ETH prices plunged:
After President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on imports from China, investors feared a trade war between the two countries. This triggered investors to sell off risky assets like tech stocks and crypto, which resulted in a crypto market crash.
