Today’s Performance
Today the IBIT dropped 1.68% in mid-trading to $60.46. The main driver was the price of Bitcoin, which plunged 1.49% to $106,361.66. There is still a huge amount of investor caution over the state of the U.S. economy, particularly the impact of President Trump’s new tariff strategy and the ongoing spat with China.
The total value of the crypto market has shrunk by over $600 billion since last Friday, data compiled by CoinGecko shows.
Not helping today was Tom Lee, the chair of BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) and a long-time Bitcoin advocate, who said Ethereum could eventually flip Bitcoin’s market cap, much like how U.S. equities overtook gold following the collapse of the gold standard in 1971.
