Bitcoin and Crypto Prices Jump as President Trump Eases Tariffs Jitter
Crypto prices narrow losses and Bitcoin price climbs above $90,000 after US President Donald Trump abandoned tariffs plan on European countries. He also ruled out using military force to acquire Greenland, reducing geopolitical risks.
However, Trump said he had secured a framework for a future deal on Greenland following talks with NATO, as CoinGape reported. BTC and ETH fell amid uncertainty but later recovered above $90,000 and $3,000, respectively.
Decline in gold and silver prices also helped trigger a broader crypto market rebound. XRP climbs 2% to $1.95, BNB, SOL, and ADA also witnessed much-needed gains.

CLARITY Act Progress and Crypto-Focused WEF Speeches
Trump’s mention of crypto regulations and Bitcoin in his speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos sparked bullish sentiment. He stated progress on a global scale and hopes to sign the CLARITY Act soon.
Comments from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at Davos also increased positive sentiment and boosted crypto prices. Garlinghouse expects crypto market to see all-time highs in 2026 due to regulatory unlocks like the GENIUS Act and clearer regulatory frameworks.

Crypto Prices Rise as Whales and Investors Close Short Positions
Coinglass data shows BTC, ETH, XRP, and ADA recorded massive short liquidations. Crypto prices jumped as more than $300 million in short positions were liquidated from the total crypto liquidation of almost $600 million over the last 24 hours.
Onchain Lens reported that “255 BTC Sold” whale has closed its BTC, ETH, and SOL short positions, opening long positions on the crypto assets. While BTC leverage has cooled, rising trading volume and lower liquidations triggered a bounce from oversold conditions amid buy-the-dip sentiment

BTC climbed above $90K as the 10-year US Treasury yield dropped 4.25% and the US dollar index (DXY) steadied around 98.80. Crypto market participants await fresh insights on the US labor market, US PCE inflation data, and BOJ interest rate decision for market direction.
Institutional Demand and ETF Inflows
While Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw an outflow of $709 million, spot Solana and XRP ETFs drew small inflows of $2.92 million and $7.16 million, respectively. Ethereum ETFs saw another $287 million in outflows. As CoinGape reported, spot XRP ETF saw its largest-ever outflow.
However, experts believe rising institutional interest and spot ETF inflows will return as Trump eases tariff concerns. This would help boost crypto prices even during short-term volatility.
Analyst Michael van de Poppe asserted that a resolution over Greenland disputes and tariffs are beneficial for risk assets and “a strong trigger for Bitcoin.” The most important level to keep an eye on today is $90,500, which could trigger upside momentum towards $92,000.
