Highlights
US-China trade relations will take center stage once again on June 9, as senior officials from both countries meet for trade discussions in London. Parties appear keen to put aside allegations of tariff violations from previous trade talks in Geneva.
The discussions follow a phase where both nations were dealing with rising disputes, mainly about tariffs and economic matters. While these talks are essential for resolving trade issues, some investors are now wondering whether the crypto market will experience a rally in response.
The upcoming US-China trade talks are expected to involve US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer. China’s vice premier He Lifeng will lead the Chinese delegation in London. President Donald Trump believes the meeting will be productive and thanked those handling it for paying attention to the issue.
While the US and China have already made some steps in their trade negotiations, there are still many problems yet to be resolved. In recent discussions in Geneva, Switzerland, the countries decided to ease their tariffs for a while.
Nevertheless, China has expressed concerns about US behavior, such as advising chip companies and limiting visas for Chinese students seeking education in the US. In addition, Beijing claims that the US is stalling efforts on rare earth exports, which are essential for building technology.
While the outcome of the US-China trade talks will likely influence the broader economic outlook, the crypto market has also been feeling the effects of these ongoing trade disputes. Recent statistics from Santiment report that more people are trading cryptocurrencies because of optimism surrounding global economic recovery. In spite of problems in the traditional market, Bitcoin and Ethereum are holding their own and showing strength in their price movements.
Santiment noted that trading volume in cryptocurrencies has gone up, which signals that more investors are investing in digital assets as world economies face uncertainty.
Bitcoin, for example, has recently gained significant traction, with its price reaching new all-time highs just recently. Despite the fluctuations in price and market volatility, the overall sentiment in the crypto market is growing more positive, especially as the US recession odds have decreased.
President Trump has repeatedly called for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, an issue that has garnered attention in light of the trade discussions. As Trump has demanded aggressive rate cuts, the crypto market has reacted positively. Low interest rates may lead to increased economic activity, which may help digital assets such as Bitcoin because people often choose them as a way to respond to inflation and policy changes.
Even with varied economic projections, Bitcoin has maintained its steady performance. Bitcoin has price soared above $104,000 on June 6, indicating a clear link between the state of the economy and the crypto market.
Moreover, according to Santiment’s data, the number of people holding major cryptocurrencies continues to increase, which suggests optimism about this space. Despite the uncertainty about the economy, more people are choosing digital currencies, as reflected by the 148.38 million Ethereum owners and the record-high 55.39 million who own Bitcoin. This rise in the number of crypto holders points to the fact that investors are seeking out new investment choices largely because of political stress and tension in trade.
Ahead of Monday’s meeting, cryptocurrency prices are showing early signals for a rally. The cryptocurrency market has gained nearly 1% over the last day, with Bitcoin and Ethereum prices recording daily gains.
