U.S. crypto stocks fell after Trump’s tariffs, with Coinbase down 7.7% and bitcoin holder Strategy dropping 5.6%. Miners like MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms slipped about 8-8.7%. Bitcoin and ether also took hits, with 3.9% and 5.2% drops, respectively.
The declines show the impact of tariffs on various assets. Trump’s administration may support crypto, but economic instability could still affect the sector. RedStone’s Marcin Kazmierczak noted a growing link between digital assets and macroeconomic policies.
