Former President Trump's appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box" at 8:00 a.m. ET on August 5, 2025, is generating significant market anticipation. The interview, hosted by Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, will focus on key economic issues, potentially influencing both traditional US equities and the cryptocurrency market. His statements on topics such as Federal Reserve policy, tariffs, and broader economic strategies could trigger substantial market shifts.


Traders and investors are closely monitoring the interview, seeking insights to inform their investment decisions. The potential impact on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) is particularly noteworthy, given the crypto market's sensitivity to shifts in US economic policy and overall market sentiment. Any sharp comments regarding US dollar policy could lead to rapid adjustments in cryptocurrency prices. The reaction of influential figures within the crypto community will also be closely scrutinized.


Concerns about the reliability of economic data, as highlighted by former National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett's comments regarding the President's skepticism about certain figures, add another layer of uncertainty. This sentiment echoes the volatility experienced in Bitcoin during the US-China trade disputes of 2019, where tariff negotiations directly impacted the cryptocurrency's price.


Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $114,646.24, boasting a market capitalization of $2.28 trillion according to data from internet sources. In the last 24 hours, trading volume reached $54.22 billion, representing a 14.83% change. While BTC shows a minimal 24-hour decrease of -0.07%, its performance over the past 30 days indicates a positive 5.98% increase. The interview's effect on these figures remains to be seen, underscoring the high stakes of this event.
