Geopolitical Tensions Contribute to Crypto Market Sell-Off

The downturn in cryptocurrency prices coincides with increased geopolitical tensions, particularly the new tariffs imposed by the U.S. on several countries. These trade tensions, along with ongoing economic uncertainty, are causing investors to shift their portfolios away from risk-heavy assets like cryptocurrencies. Over the weekend, Trump announced new tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, and Chinese imports, adding to the already fragile global trade environment.
