Crypto prices plummet amid Trump’s trade war, with Bitcoin and Ether hitting lows; investors divided on outlook.

Cryptocurrency markets faced significant declines on Monday, with Bitcoin dipping to a three-week low at USD $94,476.18, while Ether fell to its lowest level since early September at USD $2,494.33.

Investor sentiment was negatively impacted by escalating trade tensions, particularly following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on numerous imports.

The trade war has prompted a broader sell-off in risky assets, contributing to a downturn in the crypto market. More than $2 billion in liquidations occurred in the last 24 hours.

Altcoins also experienced steep declines, with Cardano dropping 25% and XRP falling 22%. Overall, cryptocurrencies have shown heightened sensitivity to market developments.

Despite this volatility, some investors view the downturn as a chance to invest in undervalued assets.

Analyst Robert Kiyosaki highlighted the potential for profit amidst the market’s turmoil, encouraging his followers to see this as an opportunity.

While there was initial optimism following Trump’s election regarding potential crypto-friendly policies, disappointment has set in due to the lack of immediate regulatory changes.

Bitcoin dips below $90K to $88,785 as investor confidence wanes amid rising market volatility and economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin has dropped below the $90,000 mark, falling to around $88,785 as investor confidence wobbles and market volatility intensifies.

As economic uncertainty grows, investors are questioning whether Bitcoin can truly act as a safe haven during times of stress, with many instead treating it as a high-risk asset.

The sell-off highlights a widening gap between crypto optimism and real-world risk aversion as capital rotates away from digital assets.

Bitcoin nears $94,000 in 2026, driven by strong demand despite weak U.S. manufacturing, says expert Oz Sultan.

Bitcoin has surged to nearly $94,000 in 2026, defying weak U.S. manufacturing data and reflecting strong investor demand. Experts say macroeconomic conditions, including risk asset performance and U.S. market dynamics, have played a key role in the rally.

Oz Sultan from Sultan Interactive Group explains what factors contributed to Bitcoin’s record-breaking rise, how the ISM PMI below expectations impacted market sentiment, and the significance of the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium for U.S. demand.

Investors are now weighing the implications of this surge for the broader economy, historical trends, and long-term momentum. Strategies for navigating economic contraction and the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional risk assets are also explored.

Morgan Stanley has officially entered the US crypto ETF market with filings for Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum exchange-traded products. This marks the bank’s first direct push into digital assets, signalling a broad strategy rather than a single-product experiment.

The filings detail that the Solana ETF will include a staking component, allowing investors to earn yield from network participation. Each trust will hold the underlying crypto assets and will be managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management, according to regulatory documents.

This move comes amid growing competition in the traditional asset management sector, as Morgan Stanley continues to expand crypto access for clients. Last year, the bank opened limited exposure to digital assets through its wealth management division, and now it is taking a more comprehensive approach.
