Though a prior policy reveal involving crypto reserves propelled assets like BTC and ether upward, the subsequent day told a divergent tale. After hovering just above $93,000 in early trading, BTC abruptly cascaded below $90,000. By afternoon, it stabilized near $87,000 as markets digested Trump’s plan to levy tariffs on foreign farm products starting next month.

The 47th U.S. President proclaimed:

To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!

Cryptocurrency markets contracted 6.81% to $2.88 trillion post-announcement, with BTC teetering near $87,000 after its sharp descent. Over $55.74 million in BTC long positions evaporated within an hour, compounding a daily total of $172 million erased.
