Crypto Markets Surge as US-China Trade Thaw Ignites Risk Appetite

Digital assets rally on geopolitical tailwinds

Bitcoin and altcoins caught a bid Tuesday as cooling tensions between Washington and Beijing sent traders scrambling for risk exposure. The crypto complex—often treated as a geopolitical canary—is pricing in what Wall Street hasn''t yet acknowledged: a potential détente in the tech cold war.

Macro winds shifting for crypto

With Treasury yields dipping and the DXY weakening, capital is rotating into assets with higher beta. Crypto''s notorious volatility suddenly looks like a feature rather than a bug when traditional hedges fail. Never mind that most retail traders couldn''t point to China on a map—the algos are buying, and that''s all that matters this quarter.

Of course, this being crypto, the rally comes with the usual caveats: liquidity remains thinner than a VC''s patience during a bear market, and half these green candles will likely get rug-pulled before the Fed''s next meeting. But for now? Enjoy the hopium—just don''t mortgage your house to buy Dogecoin.

$109,314 experienced a decline due to escalating tensions between China and the United States. However, this concern has now been alleviated, as a recent announcement from Trump has brought positive news. For the past two days, negotiations have been taking place between delegations, and yesterday evening, Lutnick stated that the meetings were going well. Subsequent reports indicated that the terms of the agreement had been clarified. Now, the ball is in China’s court, and cryptocurrencies are on the rise.

For the past six months, the risk markets have been under pressure due to the potential escalation of tariffs into a global trade war and the threat of recession. However, the point has been reached where an agreement with China has been achieved, and TRUMP has hinted at potential resolutions with other partners. Trump shared one of the two major announcements of the day.

“Our agreement with China is complete, pending Xi and my final approval. All necessary rare earth elements are to be supplied upfront by China. We receive a total tariff of 55%, while China receives 10%. Relations are excellent! Thank you for your interest in this matter!” – Trump, Truth Social

Looking Ahead

In the long term, the elimination of tariffs will only be possible if production is relocated to the United States. Although current tariffs, adjusted to reasonable rates, may have a negative impact on inflation, they are seen as positive for curbing the risk of recession.
