Crypto Price Today (April 2, 2025): Bitcoin Hovers at $85k; ETH, XRP Tries to Catch Up

Ahead of Trump’s Liberation Day, the crypto market is giving mixed signals today with Bitcoin price slightly recovering and hovering near $85k level while other leading altcoins like ETH and XRP trying to catch up with a bullish momentum.

While Trump is expected to announce fresh tariffs against 25+ countries on 2nd April, the global trade market is facing increased tension with stock markets worldwide seeing high volatility ahead of Trump’s public announcement. Given that Bitcoin is one of the most volatile financial assets, the impact of global trade policies on it will be significant.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin price is currently trading near $84,920 with a 24 hour trading volume of $28.06 billion. It surged 2.11% from the daily low of $83,692 to as high as $85,466 earlier today.
