Trade War Fears Wipe $300B from Crypto Market Cap

Published: 02-03-2025, 11:15 am | Updated: 02-03-2025, 09:04 am

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a dramatic selloff in response to President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs against major trading partners, with losses far exceeding those seen in traditional financial markets.

Bitcoin plummeted from $106,000 to $95,298, briefly touching $91,231, while Ether suffered its most severe single-day decline in four years, dropping as much as 26% during Asian trading hours to $2,608.21.

The crypto market’s sharp reaction dwarfed the relatively modest declines in traditional markets, where S&P 500 futures fell 1.7% and Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 2.1%. Even as the U.S. Dollar Index climbed 1.1% to levels not seen since late 2022, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization shrank by 8.72% to $3.08 trillion.

The widespread panic selling extended to the memecoin sector, with Trump’s namesake cryptocurrency dropping 14% to $17.748, highlighting the market’s broad-based vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
