Virtual assets are also weakening as the fallout continues from the U.S. administration of Donald Trump's illegal ruling on the reciprocal tariff.
As of 8:32 a.m. on the 25th, bitcoin was down 1% from 24 hours earlier at $64,167 on CoinMarketCap, a global coin market tracker.
Ethereum, the No. 2 by market cap, is down 0.19% and trading at $1,857. Ripple, the No. 4 by market cap, is down 0.47% at $1.34.
Uncertainty over policy following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on the 20th that the reciprocal tariff is illegal appears to have dampened investor sentiment. U.S. President Donald Trump, a day before his State of the Union address, said that countries "trying to 'play games' because of the Court's ridiculous decision" will "face higher tariffs," reiterating that he will maintain a hard-line protectionist stance.
