Bitcoin (BTC) is down 6.6% this week to
$87,837, recovering from a low of $81,425 on Tuesday—the weakest level since
February 28. The crypto market was initially lifted by U.S. President Donald
Trump’s announcement of a U.S. crypto reserve plan on Sunday, which proposed
including Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana
(SOL). These altcoins surged 10–70% on the news.
However, the rally was short-lived as markets
tumbled on Tuesday following Trump's imposition of elevated tariffs on Mexico,
Canada, and China.
