Bitcoin Close To $100,000, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Pump As Trump Touts Trade Deal With The UK
- Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies surged on May 8, 2025, amid anticipation of President Trump's trade deal announcement in the United States.
- The rally came after President Trump mentioned an imminent trade agreement with a prominent and well-regarded nation, which many believe to be the United Kingdom.
- Improving market conditions such as falling bond yields, a weaker dollar, and renewed institutional inflows into Bitcoin ETFs supported gains across Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana.
- Data indicated that Bitcoin transactions exceeding $100,000 rose from 9,668 to 10,628, daily active addresses grew by 8.7%, and crypto short liquidations reached $239 million, marking their largest level since late April.
- If confirmed, the trade deal could ease tariffs, potentially reducing inflation pressures and boosting investment in cryptocurrencies and high-beta assets.
