Bitcoin News Update: Cryptocurrency Markets Rally Amid Reduced Global Supply Chain Concerns Following US-China Trade Agreement
- A preliminary US-China trade framework boosted crypto markets, with Bitcoin rising 1.59% to $113,367 and Ethereum up 2.7% as global supply chain fears eased. - The deal, announced during Trump's Asia tour, includes China delaying rare earth export controls and committing to U.S. soybean purchases, averting 100% tariffs per Treasury Secretary Bessent. - Analysts predict Bitcoin could hit new highs if the trade détente holds and the Fed adopts dovish policies, though strategists warn the agreement remains
Cryptocurrency prices jumped as optimism grew over a tentative trade agreement between the U.S. and China, with leading digital coins rallying as concerns about global supply chains diminished.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the talks resulted in a "very substantial framework" to prevent further tariff hikes, adding that China plans to make "significant" purchases of American soybeans, as reported by

Crypto analyst Anthony Pompliano cautioned that prices could become extremely volatile if the deal is completed and interest rates are cut, Coinotag also reported. The Coinotag article further suggested that institutional investors could benefit, as stable trade relations may encourage greater blockchain use in sectors like logistics and finance.
Still, strategists urge caution. The upcoming Trump-Xi summit in South Korea is seen as pivotal, with both leaders under pressure at home to achieve concrete results, CoinRepublic noted. "The agreement is more fragile than it seems," one strategist warned, adding that a collapse could quickly bring back market turbulence, as CoinRepublic highlighted.
