Bitcoin Plunges Nearly 10% as Trump’s Cryptocurrency Reserve Plans Face Uncertainty

  • Bitcoin plunged 9.47% to $85,321.69 as investors sold off assets despite Trump’s national cryptocurrency reserve promises.
  • Ethereum dropped more than 15%, while XRP, Cardano, and Solana experienced nearly 20% declines.
  • Market analysts describe a “de-risking” phase as investors question the likelihood of Trump’s cryptocurrency initiatives materializing.

Cryptocurrency markets tumbled Monday as investors pulled back from positions built on speculation around Donald Trump‘s proposed national cryptocurrency reserve. Bitcoin, the leading digital asset with a market capitalization exceeding one trillion dollars, fell 9.47% to $85,321.69 in late trading.

The sell-off extended across the digital asset landscape with Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, dropping more than 15%. Other prominent tokens including XRP, Cardano, and Solana faced even steeper declines, with losses approaching 20% for each.

Adam Button, Forexlive manager, described the widespread market retreat, stating, "Everything is getting sold. There’s a de-risking that’s unfolding" among cryptocurrency investors. The commentary suggests market participants are reassessing their positions after initially reacting positively to Donald Trump‘s cryptocurrency statements.

The dramatic reversal comes as market participants question whether Trump’s cryptocurrency initiative will translate into actual policy. The initial enthusiasm that drove bitcoin to record highs appears to be giving way to skepticism about implementation challenges and regulatory hurdles that could prevent the proposed national cryptocurrency reserve from materializing.

Bitcoin’s trillion-dollar market capitalization, despite the current correction, remains the dominant force in the digital asset ecosystem, dwarfing other cryptocurrencies and highlighting its continued primacy among institutional and retail investors alike.
