Bitcoin see-saws around $68,000, DOGE, ETH slide as tariff uncertainty weighs on risk assets
Bitcoin dropped toward $67,000 as renewed trade tensions from President Trump's 15% global tariff hike pressured risk assets like crypto.Summary
Bitcoin fell to about $67,500, extending weekly losses as renewed trade tensions and legal uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs weighed heavily on risk assets. President Donald Trump raised the worldwide tariff rate to 15% despite a Supreme Court ruling invalidating earlier emergency trade measures, maintaining pressure on China and other partners. Major cryptocurrencies, including Ether, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin, also declined, trading in line with broader macro and trade headlines. The market is navigating both tariff escalation and legal ambiguity, which typically dampens risk appetite. Until tariff policy stabilizes, digital assets are expected to remain closely tied to macro sentiment rather than crypto-native catalysts.
