Bitcoin and the stock market dropped sharply on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for a 25% tariff on European Union imports. Bitcoin fell below $84,000, losing over 5% in 24 hours, while the S&P 500 also hit its session low. The broader cryptocurrency market, represented by the CoinDesk20 index, declined by 2.3%. Trump confirmed the tariff decision during his first cabinet meeting, stating that an official announcement would come soon. The news shook market confidence, disrupting hopes that the recent downturn had reached its bottom. Investors reacted with caution, as new tariffs could increase economic uncertainty.
