Market Pressures Mount

Bitcoin plunged after Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on imported automobiles, adding to earlier tariffs on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China. The total crypto market cap has dropped 2.6% to $2.76 trillion, with Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin each declining over 6%. Contributing to volatility is the expiration of $14 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options today, which has already triggered $418 million in liquidated positions.

Meanwhile, GameStop's announcement to raise $1.3 billion for Bitcoin purchases has backfired, with its stock plunging 25% and wiping $2.8 billion off its market value. Analysts note cryptocurrencies are "lacking new incoming funds and new narratives" as market participants also eye upcoming U.S. inflation data and potential Federal Reserve responses.
