Bitcoin traded near $68,273 at midday Saturday in New York, up nearly 2% over 24 hours, while Ethereum rose about 2% to around $1,987, CoinGecko data show. U.S. President Donald Trump said he would raise temporary tariffs on almost all imports from 10% to 15%, effective immediately, following a Supreme Court decision Friday that struck down his previous tariff program as invalid. Trump announced the change on Truth Social.
