Bitcoin Slips to Around $92,000 as Greenland Crisis Deepens [Crypto Briefing]

[The Financial News] Bitcoin (BTC) fell to around $92,000 on the 19th. This is seen as a result of rising geopolitical uncertainty, after the Donald Trump administration in the U.S. decided to impose additional tariffs on European countries that have deployed troops to Greenland.
According to global digital asset data platform CoinMarketCap, BTC was trading around $92,000 as of 10:30 a.m. that day, down 2.52% over the previous 24 hours. BTC is up 1.45% over the past week.
BTC is trading at around 137 million won in the KRW Market. Based on global digital asset market comparison platform Cryprice, the Korea premium stands at 0.79%.
President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social account on the 17th (local time) that he would impose tariffs of 10% starting next month and 25% from June on eight European countries that oppose the U.S. plan to annex Greenland.
Earlier, after the U.S. recently signaled its intention to purchase Greenland and even raised the possibility of military action, European countries, including Denmark, which has sovereignty over the territory, dispatched troops to Greenland. The U.S. has treated this as a show of force and is taking a hard-line stance, further heightening geopolitical uncertainty.
The European Union (EU) also held an emergency meeting on the 18th (local time) in Brussels, Kingdom of Belgium, attended by ambassadors from its 27 member states, to discuss a joint response to President Trump’s policy. One of the options under consideration is triggering the so‐called trade “bazooka,” the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), a measure that restricts trade with third countries that economically threaten the EU or its member states.
Investor sentiment has also deteriorated slightly. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index provided by CoinMarketCap stood at 45, indicating a “neutral” reading, down from 49 the previous day. The index ranges from 0 to 100, with values closer to 0 interpreted as “extreme fear” and those closer to 100 as “extreme greed.”
At the same time, Ethereum was trading around $3,211, down 2.80% from the previous day. Ripple (XRP) was trading around $1.95, down 5.16%.
