Trump stated, "Countries like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland have all gone to Greenland, for unclear reasons. This poses a very dangerous situation for the safety, security, and survival of our planet. These countries are playing an extremely risky game, and the level of risk they bring is intolerable and unsustainable. Therefore, in order to protect global peace and security, strong measures must be taken to swiftly and indisputably end this potential dangerous situation."
In addition, the EU will convene an emergency meeting of member state ambassadors in Brussels on the 18th to discuss the situation in Greenland and President Trump's new tariff threats.
According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability on the prediction market Polymarket of "Trump obtaining Greenland before 2027" has risen from a recent 6% to 20%.
Hey guys, when this news broke, the crypto circle blew up! Trump's move of "tariff big stick" targeted 8 European countries; on the surface, it's about Greenland, but essentially it's an escalation of the trade war. What does the crypto market fear the most? Global liquidity tightening! If tariffs are implemented, the European economy will be under pressure, the euro will weaken, and funds will flow out. US stocks and crypto will shake along — remember when trade frictions occurred in 2022, BTC dropped from 60k to 20k.
But the turning point on Polymarket: the probability jumped from 6% to 20%, indicating that the market is betting on Trump's successful "buying Greenland". If an agreement is reached, tariffs are lifted, risk assets rebound, and BTC could surge to over 100k! Conversely, if the EU holds an emergency meeting and responds strongly, there will be a short-term short seller frenzy, and BTC might retest 90k.
