On a day marked by volatility, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) was negatively affected due to economic ads from Washington, United States.
After reaching a peak of more than $ 106,000, Bitcoin retreated up to $ 101,800 at the time of this publication, after the new 25% tariffs were confirmed to Mexico and Canadawhich will take effect this Saturday, February 1. At the same time, a 10% tariff on Chinese products will be implemented.
This BTC setback occurred in the context of a reuters correction that was denied by the White House. Initially, Reuters had informed about a possible delay of tariffs until March 1 to allow certain countries to request exemptions from their exports. However, Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, discredited these Rumors and confirmed the imminent application of tariffs.
What does this have to do with Bitcoin?
Tariffs generate economic uncertainty and volatility in global markets.
Bitcoinalthough it is considered by many as a shelter asset, may suffer in the short term due to capital movements to assets considered saferlike treasure bonds.
In addition, commercial tensions can strengthen the US dollar, which generally results in a decrease in the price of Bitcoin and other assets called dollars.
Despite the recent volatility caused by tariff policy, analysts – as cryptootics have reported extensively – maintain a Positive perspective for Bitcoin in the remainder of 2025.
Factors such as growing institutional adoption, the interest of investors from all over the world and the anti -inflationary nature of the asset, due to its limited supply, maintain optimism.
In addition, many see in Bitcoin an attractive alternative in inflation scenarios and devaluation of Fíat currencies, which It could promote its valorization in a context of global macroeconomic uncertainty.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Padre Rico, poor father,” commented that in such a context “gold, silver and bitcoin can collapse.” Anyway, that is not a problem for him. “I will buy more after prices collapsed,” assures.
