“A tidal wave of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) has been unleashed across the cryptocurrency market after U.S. president Donald Trump’s Friday tariff announcement,” Petr Kozyakov, chief executive crypto payment platform Mercuryo, said in emailed comments.

Cryptocurrency prices took a hit from the prospect of a trade war between the U.S. and its major trading partners, with some well-known digital assets seeing values fall more than 10%.

President Donald Trump’s tariffs on major trading partners, including China, Canada, and Mexico, wipes $2.26 billion from the crypto market. Nick Forster, Founder of Derive.xyz, told FXStreet that recent tariffs imposed are likely to increase inflation, which could dampen investor sentiment in crypto markets.
