Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana plunge on Monday as Trump Tariff War goes on

While Bitcoin dropped below $80k, Eth also took a 12% plunge and dropped below $1600 in the wake of a global financial market crisis owing to Tariff wars.

Stock exchanges in Asian markets took a plunge on Monday morning , as attempts to strike negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump on tariff rates failed last weekend. According to Reuters, Trump has termed the heightened tariff rates for Asian countries as “medicine” , indicating further rough terrain for global financial markets.

Crypto market also took a hit in the past 12 hours with Bitcoin experiencing 5% plunge, Ethereum 12% and both Solana and Cardano falling 10% in their respective prices.
