Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP extended their slide Tuesday as renewed US–China tensions deepened market jitters, sending silver surging to a record high. Beijing announced sanctions on the US units of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean and warned of further action against the maritime sector, escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies and damping hopes of a near-term thaw. Global equities fell, and the fallout rippled through digital assets, triggering another wave of liquidations that pushed major tokens to multi-week lows.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says Bitcoin could serve as a portfolio diversifier for investors who are comfortable taking on some risk. “For those looking to diversify this is not a bad asset,” he said about BTC during a recent interview with 60 Minutes.

Robert Kiyosaki, financial influencer and entrepreneur, is warning of yet another market crash, with “depression ahead” to boot. The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad urged his social media followers on Wednesday, October 1, to invest in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and precious metals, all while taking aim at Warren Buffett.
