Bitcoin prices fell by around 5% on Sunday amid a fallout from Donald Trump’s trade war.
The world’s largest and most famous cryptocurrency had fallen to just under $79,000 (£61,500) by the end of the weekend.
Etherium, the second largest cryptocurrency in the global market, also drove to just under $1,618 on roughly 9.6pc.
Sold outs indicate a potentially intense week for investors. This is because the stock market supports a more rapid loss outlook.
Last week, around $6 trillion was wiped out from global markets following the release of Trump’s release date tariffs, confirming offensive taxation in countries around the world.
Like the stock market, Bitcoin was whipped as Trump strengthened his trade war, and investors were scared of the prospect of a global recession.
That came after Donald Trump took on cryptocurrency during his successful presidential election and vowed to make the US “an indisputable Bitcoin superpower and crypto capital.”
That’s despite previously calling cryptocurrencies a “scam” that affected the value of the dollar.
His U-turn on Crypto led Trump to launch his own meme coin, $Trump. His cryptocurrency value first surged after taking office in January, but fell 40% over the past four weeks.
First Lady Melania Trump also launched her own memecoin, but lost almost a third of this value.
Since returning to the White House, the US president has signed an executive order to create so-called strategic Bitcoin reserves and digital asset stockpiles in which coins seized by the government are stocked.
Trump’s cryptocurrency David Sachs describes the fund as “a digital fort knox, a cryptocurrency often referred to as digital gold.”
Advocates of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are seen as a potential way to change payments and funds to their supporters, but memecoin is of little use.
Instead, they are seen as a way of showing support for a particular personality or form of gambling.
