Bitcoin climbs to $100k as cryptocurrencies market recovers
Bitcoin, Ethereum climbed as top cryptocurrencies rebounded strongly Tuesday after sell pressures reduced the value of all major assets in the market. Data showed that the global crypto market cap gained, settling at $3.26 trillion, a 6.35% increase over the last day. Bitcoin has surged by 4% in the last 24 hours, settling at $100,072 at the press time, while Ethereum has gained 7.77% in the same period to $2.826. On Monday, Bitcoin hit a low of $91,441 overnight. While smaller cryptocurrency Ethereum lost nearly a quarter in value since Friday.
U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and most Canadian imports, and 10% on goods from China, starting Tuesday. While China has retaliated, Canada and Mexico agreed to meet Trump’s demand, and this caused delay in tariffs hike implementation for the two countries. Trump’s own cryptocurrency slid below $20 on Monday as trade war rattled the financial markets. The coin was launched shortly before Trump’s inauguration and initially surged, hitting highs above $73.
