Bitcoin fell 3.6% as gold futures hit record highs after the EU threatened to retaliate against Trump\u2019s tariffs on eight European countries over Greenland.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin fell almost $3,500 on Monday as Europe hinted at retaliatory measures against US President Donald Trump, who threatened new trade tariffs unless negotiations could begin over Greenland.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin prices have dumped 3.6% in a matter of hours, falling from $95,450 to just below $92,000 on Coinbase in early trading on Monday morning, according to TradingView.<\/p>\n

Around $750 million in long positions were liquidated in four hours, bringing total 24-hour liquidations to over $860 million, according to Coinglass. The asset had marginally recovered from its weekly low, trading at $92,580 at the time of writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, precious metals have surged as they continue to decouple from digital assets, while stock futures were also down.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gold futures soared to record highs of $4,667 per ounce as markets reacted to the resumption of the US-EU trade war, according to Google Finance. Silver futures also skyrocketed above $93 per ounce for the first time in history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Europe retaliates to Trump tariffs\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Over the weekend, Trump announced 10% trade tariffs on eight European countries\u00a0 \u2014 Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the UK \u2014 starting Feb. 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These would rise to 25% by June if no agreement on his push to control Greenland is reached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

European leaders responded forcefully, with French President Emmanuel Macron urging the EU to activate its \u201canti-coercion instrument,\u201d also known as a \u201ctrade bazooka,\u201d which could restrict US access to EU markets.<\/p>\n

The European Union is also considering 93 billion euros ($108 billion) in previously delayed retaliatory tariffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least judging from the first reactions, some European leaders are willing to play hardball,\u201d wrote Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING, according to CNN.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trade war fears sparking risk-off mood<\/h2>\n

Crypto industry analysts told Cointelegraph the trade war could create a risk-off environment in the markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI see Trump\u2019s tariffs over Greenland sparking trade war fears and creating a risk-off mood in markets,\u201d said Andri Fauzan Adziima, research lead at Bitrue.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin, acting like a tech stock, dropped below $93,000 due to liquidations and FUD, showing how it gets hit hard by big economic shakes. Short-term pain continues, but both could rise long-term if money weakening happens,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jeff Mei, chief operations officer at the BTSE exchange, said that trade war threats \u201care causing a bout of market unease \u2014 especially since this time he is threatening some of America’s closest allies.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, traders are thinking about the worst-case scenario, in which markets could plunge to April 2025 levels. Once the U.S. market opens, it\u2019s possible that institutional investors may move to de-risk their holdings if they think Trump\u2019s threats are serious.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
