Bitcoin has fallen to approximately $60,000 per coin as fears of a U.S.-Iran conflict and rising oil prices weigh on the market. The price is down sharply from $126,000 in October of last year, according to available data.
President Donald Trump addressed the downturn during a press briefing in the Oval Office, declaring himself “a big crypto guy.” “If we don’t have it, China is going to have it, and they would like to have it,” he said, adding that China is no longer trying as hard because the U.S. has “taken over crypto.”
Trump acknowledged that bitcoin is being used “at levels that nobody understands really” and called the asset “very powerful.” He noted that his interest grew over time after observing significant money flowing into bitcoin during his first term.
China continues to advance its own digital currency program, known as mBridge, which is designed to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar, according to reports. Meanwhile, a prominent crypto analyst has issued a 50x price prediction for the sector, though specific timing remains unclear.
Separately, Trump Accounts—tax-advantaged 503A accounts—were launched over the 4th of July weekend. The accounts are seeded with $1,000 for U.S. children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, to help build long-term savings.
