Bitcoin Slips Back Toward $108K as Tariff Tensions Weigh on Markets || Oct 22, 2025
Lingering uncertainty around the Xi–Trump meeting keeps crypto on edge despite brief rallies
🪙 Crypto Market Overview
Bitcoin has moved back toward the $108,000 level again, despite briefly touching $114,000 earlier in the week and several potentially positive developments.
The Federal Reserve’s proposal for a new type of “payment account” for crypto with the central bank, alongside a sharp drop in gold prices, initially fueled optimism.
However, those gains evaporated after renewed concerns over the upcoming Xi–Trump meeting reignited fears of fresh tariffs on China. It’s increasingly clear that tariff headlines remain the key driver for risk sentiment across all asset classes — especially crypto.
