US President Donald Trump's surprise announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports triggered the largest single-day liquidation event in cryptocurrency history, wiping out nearly $19 billion in positions. Bitcoin plunged from a record high of $126,000 to below $107,000, while altcoins suffered steeper declines amid a cascade of leveraged trades. Markets partially recovered over the weekend as tensions eased with calming statements from both sides.
