Crypto markets experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) seeing volatility following a broader market rout triggered by Trump's tariff threats, leading to over $10 billion in liquidations. XRP also faced a price plunge but garnered positive institutional news, including a Grayscale ETF conversion and EU expansion. While altcoins like Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK) saw notable declines, some analysts maintain a bullish Q4 outlook for Bitcoin, and Ethereum whales began accumulating after its crash.
