Crypto Market Today: BTC & Altcoins Bounce Back After Dip

The crypto market added 3.5% value intraday, as indicated by a global market cap of $2.67 trillion. Further liquidations from yesterday declined by over 58% and reached $389.61 million (Coinglass data), offering relief to prices.

Intriguingly, the digital asset sector appears to be digesting trade war tensions post-Trump’s new tariffs as well as rising fears of a U.S. recession.
