Apparently, the crypto market is starting to get used to political noise. Trump announced a jump in global tariffs from 10% to 15%, and although such news usually causes panic in cryptocurrencies, this time Bitcoin and Ether hardly moved. An interesting observation — prices are holding around $70,000 for BTC and approximately $2,200 for ETH, even though economic uncertainty is clearly increasing.



The president even posted on Truth Social, explaining that his move was necessary to protect American industry from trade imbalances. British businessmen, of course, were alarmed — the head of the UK Chamber of Commerce stated that this would add another 5% to tariffs on British goods. A court previously ruled his previous tariff measures illegal, so now the administration is going through Congress.

As for crypto news amid this chaos, something interesting happened. In the US stock market, investors withdrew nearly $316 million from Bitcoin funds, and more than $123 million exited Ether funds. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale — all of them reduced their positions. Over the week, BTC lost 2%, ETH fell by 5%. It seemed like a collapse was inevitable, but here’s the thing — despite all these withdrawals, funds still hold about $85 billion in assets. Crypto news often exaggerates short-term movements, but the market structure remains relatively stable. The Total3 index, which shows the market cap of altcoins excluding Bitcoin and Ether, fell less than 1%, indicating some balance. It’s interesting to see how the market adapts to the new reality of political uncertainty.
