Bitcoin fell to $83,000, registering a 1.2% decline in the past 24 hours amid a broader crypto sell-off triggered by President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement.
After the announcement, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana dropped by 4%, 3%, and 4%, respectively, pushing the total crypto market capitalization down by nearly 5%.
The coins have seen some recovery after hitting these lows.
However, one project continued to show resilience.
Bitcoin Pepe‘s presale has seen continued momentum over the past weeks.
Trump’s reciprocal tariffs
President Donald Trump confirmed sweeping reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners, marking a major escalation in his trade policy.
The new levies aim to match the trade barriers faced by American exporters, with tariffs reaching as high as 54% on Chinese imports, 20% on the European Union, 26% on India, and 24% on Japan.
Markets reacted sharply, with US stocks reversing earlier gains.
Dow futures plunged 1,007 points, or 2.3%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 3.4% and 4.2%, respectively, reflecting investor concerns over economic fallout and potential retaliation from affected nations.
Multinational stocks tumbled after hours, with Nike and Apple each down 7%.
Retailers reliant on imports were hit hardest—Five Below fell 15%, Dollar Tree lost 11%, and Gap slid 8.5%.
Tech stocks also saw sharp declines, with Nvidia dropping 4.5% and Tesla down 6%.
Bitcoin Pepe’s sustained momentum
Bitcoin Pepe has defied the downturn in the broader crypto market, maintaining strong momentum since its presale launch in mid-February.
Bitcoin Pepe is drawing attention with an explosive presale, raising over $5.9 million in just weeks.
Early investors have seen steady gains, with projections suggesting cumulative returns could surpass 300% by the end of its 30-stage presale.
