The post Bitcoin Thrived Under Biden’s “Hostile” Rules, Falls 13% Under Trump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The crypto market thrives on bold bets, but here’s a twist: bitcoin (BTC) has tanked 13% under President Donald Trump, dropping from $101,000 to $87,000 since he took office in January 2025.
