Why Is Crypto Crashing Today: Trump China Tariff News Hit Market?
The global cryptocurrency market experienced its largest single-day decline in history, plummeting 9.5% within 24 hours to a total market capitalization of $3.83 trillion. Leveraged positions worth over $9 billion were liquidated amid the sell-off.
Market analysts attribute the downturn to renewed trade tensions following Trump-era China tariff announcements, which triggered risk-off sentiment across digital assets. The sell-off was broad-based, affecting major cryptocurrencies and altcoins alike.
