Bitcoin and Ethereum Market Movements

The cryptocurrency market witnessed a notable downturn as Bitcoin (BTC) fell over 2% on Sunday.

Bitcoin and ether fell on Sunday as President Donald Trump took a harder line on trade policy with China, while broader cryptocurrency market anxieties surfaced with a huge altcoin rugpull.

What Happened

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped more than 2% in the 24 hours to 3:00 AM ET on Sunday, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency falling below the $79,000 level. The cryptocurrency faced selling pressure following Trump’s indication that the U.S. may impose tariffs on a broader range of Chinese-manufactured electronics.

The administration is also considering taxing smartphones, semiconductors, and laptops from China, in addition to the tariffs announced last week on household goods.

World’s second-largest cryptocurrency ether fell below the $1,600 mark, reflecting broader market anxieties.

Among altcoins, MANTRA (OM) token crashed 90% in an hour after it was hit by a major rugpull.

"The timing and depth of the collapse suggest that account positions were closed very abruptly without adequate warning or notification," Mantra co-founder John Patrick Mullin said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter.

The crypto market experienced a downturn as the Trump administration delivered mixed signals over the imposition of new tariffs on Chinese-manufactured electronic devices.

The total cryptocurrency market cap reached $2.69 trillion in the 24 hours leading up to 7:34 AM ET.
