    Trump on a Truce- US Mexico 25% Tariff Threat Easing- Sunny Day for Bitcoin and Solana

    President Trump pitched his notion to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada. The tariff war retaliated and impacted mainstream stock investment.  

    In the same vein, major crypto powerhouses like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others took a hit. But things are changing rapidly.  

    Trump and Mexican President Sheinbaum agreed to pause the 25% tariffs immediately. The ceasefire is assured for one month at least with the projection of being extended.  

    What does it mean for the crypto market? 

    The tariff war badly affected crypto trading. We experienced some historic liquidations which frequently reached $1 billion too. But from Monday afternoon onwards the tariff war won’t have any more effect on the crypto prices. 

    The president’s take  

    After having a word with the Mexican president, the US counterpart Donald Trump seemed wishful-  

    “in a friendly conversation, she agreed to supply 10000 Mexican soldiers for the border that separates Mexico from the United States……. Specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl and migrants.” 

    Markets rebounding gradually  

    After a steep liquidation in the last 7 days, the early morning trading on Monday was hopeful. Ethereum collapsed more than 35%, while Solana shrunk by 24%. In the meantime, Bitcoin was at a record low of $93000. 

    But, the clouds have parted now. At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at around $1,01,900, marking 4.28% growth in the last 24 hours.  

    Similarly, Ethereum recovered most of the losses. There are hopes that the crypto platform will regain its standard price level of $2700 soon.  

    Among others making a viable move, Solana has been up by 2%, posting a recent high price of $213. Investors would be happy to know that altcoins like XRP and sui are also back on track with a 50% revival overnight.  

    Caution for investors  

    Don’t let benchmark recoveries fool you. Certainly, the market is more investible now. Still, some of the crypto indices are in the red zone.  

    The safe ones include GMCI De-Fi, which features the emblem of truly decentralized lending and trading. Such platforms also regained their values to 2.5% approximately.
