The fears of an imminent recession, associated with climbing trade tensions between the United States and Canada, sparked Bitcoin prices and Altcoin sales on Sunday evening.

Speaking on Fox News by Sunday Morning Futures, Trump directly avoided the possibilities of recession in 2025, saying that he hated predicting “things like that”. He stressed that his economic policies aim to bring wealth to America, although the transition can take time.

Trump prices on imports from countries like Canada, Mexico and China have been a source of market volatility. Despite this, the American president defended his approach as necessary to achieve his economic objectives.

Also on March 9, Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada, won the elections to the Liberal Party leadership, replacing Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada.

The new elected Prime Minister left for Trump during his first speech, declaring that Trump will not succeed in his trade war with Canada.

“America is not Canada. And Canada will never be part of America in any way, a form or a form, “said Carney. Trump has repeatedly called Trudeau as the “governor” of Canada, suggesting that Canada would be better like the 51st American state.

“My government will keep our prices until the Americans show us respect,” he said. Canada has imposed 25% tariffs on American consumer goods in retaliation for Trump prices.

Bitcoin fell below $ 81,000 after Carney’s victory, according to Coingecko data. At the time of the press, BTC recovered slightly above $ 82,000, down 4% in the last 24 hours.

Market disorders were deepened as Bitcoin decreased. Ether and XRP each lost more than 6%, while Dogecoin dropped by more than 10%.

Other coins such as BNB, Solana, Cardano and Tron have also experienced significant losses, while low -cost tokens such as the injective, the manufacturer and the rendering experienced two -digit drops.

The total market capitalization of cryptography decreased by 6% to 2.8 billions of dollars in one day. Levary effects have reached $ 600 million, with around $ 530 million in long -term positions, according to Corglass data.

The GDPNOW model of the Atlanta Federal Reserve revised its forecasts for the first quarter of 2025, predicting a GDP contraction of 2.4%. This downward revision reflects lower than expected consumption expenditure and extended trade deficit, which raises concerns about a potential recession.

Trump’s Bitcoin reserve reaction: a mixed bag

The turbulence of the market continued after Thursday’s executive decree of Thursday establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve, which initially aroused sales pressures due to limited details on funding beyond the existing Bitcoin in the United States.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Friday that discussions were underway on the BTC’s additional acquisitions, but the first step is to stop the sale of Bitcoin seized.

He also noted that, although the accent is current on Bitcoin, the wider strategy is to establish a complete cryptography reserve.

While some analysts consider the creation of the reserve as a formal recognition of the role of Bitcoin as a strategic intake, positioning it alongside traditional reserves like gold, this recognition was not translated into immediate market confidence.

The members of the cryptographic community also had mixed reactions at the top of the cryptography of the White House which took place after the decree.

Speaking during the event, the co-founder of Chainlink, Sergey Nazarov, expressed his optimism that US officials are now actively engaging with the blockchain and cryptography industry, which he said could help the country to stay at the forefront of financial innovation.

“Me and other people in the room, believe that the crypto, blockchain, web3 infrastructure is the next iteration of the financial system,” said Nazarov. “And I think the United States should keep its leadership position in this new financial system.”

Kyle Samani, general partner of Multicoin Capital, also saw the event positively, calling it “historic moment” for the crypto.

On the other hand, the CEO CEO, Nic Puckrin and the Bitcoin maximalist, Justin Bechler, expressed their disappointment, questioning the impact of the summit and criticizing his approach.
