By Monday, the market had rebounded as crypto derivatives adjusted and spot demand steadied. Meanwhile, theories circulated online about a significant Bitcoin short initiated just before the announcement, allegedly linked to someone in Trump’s family.
The tariff news affected risk assets over the weekend sessions. Bitcoin tested levels around $105,000 before recovering to approximately $115,000 by Monday morning in Europe.
Over $19 billion in crypto liquidations occurred within 24 hours of this drop, impacting more than 1.6 million accounts.
The rumors primarily revolve around a substantial Bitcoin short placed prior to the tariff post and some versions suggest Barron Trump was involved. However, no public or verifiable evidence has been found linking any Trump family member to such actions at this time.
Barron Trump’s alleged involvement in cryptocurrency is mainly discussed through family wealth disclosures and profile articles rather than documented trading activities involving derivatives or other financial instruments like meme-coins previously rumored about him.
