Bitcoin is reeling from a heavy blow amid the Trump trade war that sent markets spiraling down. How low can it go?

Polymarket traders are betting on an emergency rate cut by the Fed, as well as a recession in the U.S. in 2025. What’s driving the surge?

Plus, Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement sent the market into its biggest one-day drop since 2020. While most investors were blindsided, Matt Maley was calmly locking in gains of 100% to 500%.

TOP STORY

As markets reel from the escalating trade war sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, crypto analysts and industry leaders are warning that the turbulence may reshape the digital asset landscape—well beyond the current sell-off.

Speaking with Benzinga, Rob Chang, CEO and Co-founder of Gryphon Digital Mining said what we're seeing is more a case of delayed reaction or markets pricing in uncertainty with a short-term bullish bias. "Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to macro developments, and any perceived lull can quickly give way to volatility."

Another expert warned that Bitcoin could go as low as $50,000 on these developments.

What do you need to watch out for?
