[Analysis] "High Possibility of Short-term Decline in Virtual Assets… Due to 'Volatility', Not Tariffs"

Ben Culland, CEO of the virtual asset analysis platform DYOR, stated that "the market is likely to decline in the short term." In an interview with Bloomberg on the 3rd (local time), CEO Culland said, "Investors do not prefer unpredictability." CEO Culland explained that the possibility of decline is due to 'policy-driven volatility', not the tariffs themselves, but what the tariffs signify.

The price of Bitcoin fell to the $82,000 range at one point as the Trump administration announced a large-scale tariff policy on the 2nd (local time). Rachel Lucas, a virtual asset analyst at the Australian virtual asset exchange BTC Markets, analyzed that "the next big move depends on policy and geopolitical changes, and whether investors view Bitcoin as a risk asset or a safe haven," stating that "$80,000 is a key support level for Bitcoin."
