Fears of a U.S.–EU trade war resurfaced after President Trump threatened escalating tariffs on key European allies unless Denmark agrees to sell Greenland to the U.S. Adding to market uncertainty, the U.S. crypto bill also stalled after Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and other industry leaders withdrew their support.
While Bitcoin was sideways during the week, it experienced a sudden crash on Sunday owing to US-EU tariff tensions. Other major cryptos, including ETH, XRP, and SOL tracked BTC’s movement.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies experienced a sharp sell-off over the weekend as fears of a renewed U.S.–European Union trade war intensified.
Bitcoin briefly dipped below $92,500, wiping out recent gains and triggering significant liquidations in leveraged positions across the market.
The sell-off followed President Trump’s threat to impose escalating tariffs on European allies — starting at 10% on February 1 and rising to 25% by June — unless Denmark agrees to sell Greenland to the U.S.
In response, the European Union is reportedly considering retaliatory tariffs worth $108 billion on U.S. goods, raising the stakes for a trade escalation that could affect global markets.
Such geopolitical tensions amplify uncertainty and risk aversion, leading investors to liquidate positions in assets like cryptocurrencies.
The situation is further complicated by the stalled U.S. crypto bill, with industry leaders like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong withdrawing support.
The standoff centers on whether crypto platforms should be allowed to offer yield on stablecoins, rewards or interest‑like returns paid to users for holding assets like USDC.
