Bitcoin fell more than 5% to below $65,000 on Monday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to raise global tariffs to 15%.
The drop came as Asian equities rose in early trade, underscoring crypto’s divergence from regional stock markets amid renewed tariff uncertainty.
Bitcoin has seen a sharp sell-off since October last year when it crossed $125,000, with the downturn extending into the new year. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is down 26% so far this year and has lost over 47% since the October high.
