Home » Business » Trade Deal Between the US and China Could Cause a Significant Shift in the Cryptocurrency Market
(STL.News) The two countries, with the biggest economies in the world, have finally come to a somewhat mutually beneficial agreement after months of significantly detrimental fighting over trade rules. The deal reached is sure to affect global trade and, in turn, is likely to have significant ripple effects across the cryptocurrency markets.
Cryptocurrency is a highly popular mode of finance in the United States, with an estimated 28% of adults owning at least one form of the digital assets. Even before the start of his current presidency, Donald Trump had remained enthusiastic about crypto adoption in the country, even promising to make the US the ‘crypto capital of the globe.’
This mode is popular for a variety of different reasons. Firstly, as an encrypted asset, it is known for its complex security features. It is also decentralized and universal, enabling fast, low-cost transactions. Most significantly, however, crypto is a speculative asset and is often highly volatile, meaning its value can rise or fall over time for various reasons. One of these factors includes, as this article will explore, political and global events.
The best BTC exchanges not only provide newbie investors with a place to purchase and trade crypto, but also offer verified guides and insights into the crypto world, making them an excellent starting point for anyone interested in purchasing cryptocurrency for the first time.
US President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on October 30, 2025. At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Busan, South Korea, the two world leaders finalized a one-year trade deal. Above all, the agreement has led to the suspension of multiple major tariffs and export restrictions that were negatively affecting both countries.
The deal between the US and China couldn’t have come sooner, as the continuously escalating tensions caused one of the biggest crypto crashes in history. The crash occurred on October 11 and saw the overall crypto market value drop by $19 billion in a single day. Despite the significant de-escalation between the two countries, it seems crypto markets are responding with, perhaps warranted, caution.
Multiple outcomes arose from the Trade deal, with some benefiting the US and others China. Firstly, China previously implemented new export controls on rare materials essential to the manufacture of military equipment, smartphones, and electric vehicles, but has now lifted them. They have also agreed to halt all shipments of fentanyl precursors to the US for one year, as well as lift the various retaliatory tariffs they had imposed on the US after March 4, 2025. The country also promised to purchase at least 12 million metric tonnes of soybeans grown on US land, which is certain to help farmers earn higher profits, especially after the recent trade tensions.
In return, Donald Trump promised to reduce the tariffs he had previously imposed on China by 10%. This is set to begin on November 10, 2025, and span the duration of the year-long deal. Alongside this, the deal will extend various key tariff exceptions and suspend specific trade actions related to maritime and shipping investigations.
The deal has certainly come as a relief for crypto enthusiasts, even if they haven’t rushed to invest and trade. The fighting had a catastrophic effect on the crypto market, with the worst of it beginning on October 9. On this day, China announced various strict licensing requirements for exporting rare minerals, and in retaliation, Trump threatened a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports the next day.
When this news was made public, faith in cryptocurrency dropped exponentially, and so did its value. This became the biggest liquidation event in crypto history. Over 1.6 million crypto traders lost positions that were worth between $19 billion and £30 billion in a single day. Bitcoin’s value dropped by over $20,000, and Ethereum dropped by 14%.
Despite the objectively good news of the deal, crypto traders remain cautious. This is likely because many of the details surrounding the agreement remain unclear, and there is persistent concern that the meeting has created a temporary ceasefire rather than a permanent solution.
However, it can’t be denied that the deal has had and will continue to have a positive effect on the crypto market. Cryptocurrency experts are cautiously optimistic about the future of crypto after this deal and believe it will help remove the uncertainty that has kept crypto’s value so low. Now that the political headlines are less shocking and negative, it is likely the crypto market will begin to recover. Crypto investors once again have the opportunity to trade and invest without an overwhelming fear of sudden geopolitical shock.
The US and China have agreed to review this deal annually. In the meantime, the sudden shift from chaos to relative stability will give the crypto market the chance to recover. That said, crypto investors will likely remain cautious for a while, and it may take a significant amount of time for the market to return to where it was before the $19 billion liquidation event. The crypto fear and greed index might not still be in the extreme fear level of 18 that it was, but it remains in the fear level. That being said, there is still hope for a full recovery. For it to happen, however, crypto investors will need to see consistent implementation of the deal over a sustained period.

The Dallas Cowboys are trying to improve their woeful defense ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.
Following Monday night’s 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said that a trade was in place.
On Tuesday morning, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported that the Cowboys had a deal to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals. It was not immediately clear what the Cowboys would be sending the Bengals in return.
Despite having one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses, the Cowboys have a 3-5-1 record thanks in large part to their defense. The team ranks 31st out of 32 teams in both points and yards allowed per game. Only the Bengals are worse in both categories.
Cincinnati drafted Wilson, a 29-year-old Wyoming native, in the 3rd round of the 2020 NFL draft. Now in his sixth NFL season, Wilson has 11 interceptions, 6 forced fumbles and 5.5 sacks in his career, according to Pro Football Reference.
Wilson was inactive for the Bengals’ loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday due to a calf injury.

IZI Group plc will be taking over the running of Lotto, Super 5 and other lotteries from Maltco Lotteries after submitting a winning bid of €105 million for the 10-year concession
IZI Group plc will be taking over the running of Lotto, Super 5 and other lotteries from Maltco Lotteries after submitting a winning bid of €105 million for a 10-year concession to manage and operate the National Lottery of Malta.
Maltco, which had operated the National Lottery of Malta since 2004, did not submit a bid, sister newspaper BusinessToday has reported.
IZI Group was set up in 2004. IZIBET is the sports betting brand of the group and was launched in 2015.
The group operates a network of 40 high-street betting outlets and is the majority shareholder of the Dragonara Casino.
IZI Group participated in the bid for the management and operation of the National Lottery of Malta through its subsidiary National Lottery plc, backed up by International Game Technology owned by Lottomatica and formerly known as GTECH.
National Lottery plc was incorporated on 16 September 2021 and is owned wholly by IZI Group plc, which in turn is owned by gaming entrepreneur Johann Schembri. Schembri is a director and shareholder of Dragonara Gaming, which is also owned by his IZI Group (60%), and Michael and Raphael Bianchi’s Toss A Coin Limited (40%).
Maltco, which took over the lotteries concession back in 2004, is owned by Greek firm Intralot Global Holdings (73%), Associated Supplies Limited (3%), and The Players Group (24%), a partnership between the Bianchi Group, Mizzi Organisation, Mariolot, and Jeanlot.
A consortium including the Eden Leisure Group, Italian operator SISAl and Scientific Games as technology provider and shareholder also participated in the tender this time.
This is the second attempt by IZI Group after it participated in the last bid in 2012 and lost against Maltco Lotteries. Then, Maltco submitted the highest bid of €39,100,000.
All existing lotto shops operating as Maltco will now be rebranded to National Lottery while IZIBET will be the sports betting brand and product.
According to BusinessToday, National Lottery plc will build on the main products of Lotto and Super 5, introducing two add-on games to Super 5. The new operators will also be reintroducing Tirtombola and strengthening the Instant Lottery products (scratch cards).
The popular in-store Quick Keno will be retained and strengthened further.

A lottery winner who's won a whopping $65 million has made one crucial mistake that could mean they miss out on a massive fortune.
The chances of winning the lottery in Australia – where the ticket was purchased – is a lowly one in 62 million. But someone's got to win it, right?
Well, last week, someone claimed the entire AUD$100 million ($65 million) Powerball jackpot, but a week on, are still yet to claim their life-changing winnings.
The winning ticket was sold at Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Cafe, but because the winner hasn't registered the ticket to an account, there's no way The Lott can contact them.
Advert
On June 12, the numbers were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21, while a Powerball of 6 was drawn.
The Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre has urged fellow lottery players to register their ticket to The Lott Members Club so they can be contacted in the event of a big victory.
“It’s the question many Aussies have been asking during the past seven days: who won last week’s $100 million Powerball prize, and do they know they’ve won?” she said.
Advert
“By registering your in-store or online lottery entry to The Lott Members Club, not only are we able to contact you straight after the draw if you win big, but your prize is secure.
“Even if you happen to lose or damage your winning ticket, if it is registered to you, we could still unite you with your prize, providing the ultimate peace of mind."
McIntyre added: "Remember, your lottery ticket could be worth millions of dollars, so it makes sense that if you’re going to buy a ticket, you should register it to The Lott Members Club.
“Joining is easy and free – simply ask your retailer when you’re next in-store or register online or via The Lott app.”

While there is a risk the lottery winner may not be able to claim their prize, players in New South Wales have six years to claim the prizes. Nonetheless, lottery officials are keen to speak to the winner and issue them with their massive prize.
On top of that, the winner would have the money in their bank account promptly, if all the usual checks are passed of course.
"We pay division one prizes two weeks after the draw, so this prize is ready to be put into someone’s bank account in a week’s time – on Friday 27 June 2025. What a way to end the financial year!" McIntyre added.

"The first step is to give us a call on 131 868 if you think you are holding the division one winning entry."
