    US President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on China on Friday, sending the price of Bitcoin (BTC) reeling below $110,000 at the time of writing.

    Trump said the tariffs were in response to China attempting to place export restrictions on rare earth minerals, which are crucial for creating computer chips. Trump wrote on Truth Social:

    “It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1, 2025, impose large-scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make.”

    Trump’s first tariff announcements in April sent shockwaves through crypto markets and sparked fears of a recession.

    Bitcoin falls to $102,000, a 3-month low

    Shortly after Trump’s announcement, Bitcoin’s BTC/USDT futures pair at Binance exchange fell as low as $102,000, which is a low not seen since late June when BTC dropped under $100,000.

    Bitcoin spot prices at Coinbase hit an intraday low of $107,000 while data from CoinGlass shows $9.40 billion total crypto market positions liquidated in the past 24-hours, with $7.15 billion being leveraged longs.

    The wider crypto market also succumbed to the carnage, with Ether (ETH) falling to $3,500 at Coinbase and SOL (SOL) dropping below $140 in its futures pair at Binance. Analysts at Hyblock Capital said,

    ”Global 2x leverage on most altcoins was totally wiped out.”

    Tariff pressure and chip access

    Rare earth elements are essential for semiconductor production. By threatening to tighten access to critical materials, China strains the global hardware pipeline, including for AI, high-performance computing and crypto mining infrastructure.

    Meanwhile, US measures targeting Chinese tech exports and investment are part of a broader push to curb dependency on foreign manufacturing.

    Broader crypto markets turned red following the tariff announcement, with Ether (ETH) and Solana (SOL) extending losses alongside Bitcoin, down 12% and 14%, respectively, at the time of writing.

    The global crypto market capitalization is at $3.64 trillion at this writing, with an 11.80% decrease over the last 24 hours.
