Bitcoin price sells off after Trump’s US-China tariff deal — Here is why

  • Bitcoin surged past $105,000 on May 12, 2025, following the announcement of a US-China tariff agreement that also boosted other cryptocurrencies.
  • This breakthrough resulted from two days of negotiations culminating in an evening agreement on May 11, which aimed to ease trade tensions and stimulate market optimism.
  • Alongside Bitcoin’s record, altcoins like VeChain gained about 7%, reaching $0.034, as risk assets generally rallied due to improved geopolitical and economic conditions.
  • Santiment analysts noted that if the agreement quickly alleviates challenges faced by exporters and importers in both nations, it could trigger an immediate positive reaction across all markets.
  • The agreement and related macroeconomic factors have increased institutional interest and lowered uncertainty, suggesting a possible sustained upward trend if upcoming US inflation data remains stable.
