Asia stocks firm as Bitcoin holds near $88K; Trump sets 25% South Korea tariff plan

Bitcoin hovered around $88,000 in early Asian trade on Tuesday as investors weighed U.S. earnings and President Donald Trump's intention to lift tariffs on South Korean imports to 25%. Equities were broadly steady, gold was near $5,066 and silver at $110.60, while analysts said Bitcoin could remain between $85,000 and $94,500 absent a fresh demand catalyst.
