Crypto Market Surges as US China Trade Deal Ends Long-Standing War
The crypto market is posting major green candles today, and it's no coincidence. News just broke that the United States and China have finalized a comprehensive trade agreement, officially ending the long-standing trade war that rattled global markets for years. As traditional finance cheers the geopolitical breakthrough, crypto markets are reacting just as strongly—if not more—with Bitcoin , Ethereum , and altcoins all posting double-digit gains. But is the trade deal the reason behind today’s rally?
After over six years of tariffs, tech bans, and financial uncertainty, Washington and Beijing finally inked a deal covering tariffs, semiconductor supply chains, and digital trade. The agreement restores trade flows and improves cross-border cooperation, including in the blockchain and financial tech sectors. The announcement sent global stock markets surging, but the crypto market exploded.
Analysts suggest that with a reduction in global risk and clearer economic outlooks, institutional investors are reallocating capital into risk-on assets, including crypto. The trade deal has created a “relief rally” environment that Bitcoin thrives in.
Bitcoin ($BTC) is currently trading around $109,400, rising nearly 3% in the past 24 hours. After consolidating under $108K for most of the past week, the breakout comes as traders price in renewed optimism and macro clarity. With the next resistance near the $111K–$112K zone (its previous all-time high), bulls are eyeing a clean breakout.
📊 Key Chart Levels:
Ethereum ($ETH) is outperforming $BTC today, jumping over 14% in 24 hours to reach above $2,700. Speculation around the SEC greenlighting a spot Ethereum ETF this month is heating up. Combined with the improved macro sentiment and strong staking data, $ETH is attracting renewed interest from institutional and retail traders alike.
Several altcoins are outperforming today, especially those tied to potential ETF narratives or institutional utility:
Even meme coins like $DOGE and $PEPE saw 5–10% gains amid the market-wide euphoria.
According to data from CoinShares and Fidelity Digital, crypto funds recorded nearly $7 billion in inflows over the last 30 days, reaching an all-time high of $167B AUM. The end of the trade war gives hedge funds and family offices more clarity on macro conditions—freeing them to rotate back into risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Moreover, major banks like Société Générale are launching dollar-pegged stablecoins in Q3, while Coinbase reports surging demand for stablecoin-based remittances in Asia.
Today’s price spike isn’t just a flash pump—it’s tied to a major geopolitical shift that affects the global economy. If the peace holds, and if CPI data tomorrow confirms cooling inflation in the US, crypto could enter a new bullish phase.
But traders should watch for potential fakeouts, especially with Bitcoin flirting with resistance near its ATH. If bulls can reclaim $112K, we could see a surge toward $115K and beyond.

Bitcoin investor held hostage, tortured for weeks in NYC, prosecutors say
Two defendants pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and torturing a man for weeks over his wallet password.
Kidnappings are becoming a serious threat to high-profile crypto investors. On Wednesday, June 11, John Woeltz, 37, and William Duplessie, 33, pleaded not guilty to kidnapping a Bitcoin investor and attempting to steal his wallet data.
According to prosecutors, the two men held and tortured the victim for three weeks starting on May 6, in a luxury SoHo apartment in New York. They allegedly beat him, shocked him with electric wires, and held him over a staircase before he managed to escape.
The torture was intended to force the investor to hand over his Bitcoin wallet password, which would have given the attackers control over his crypto. If convicted, both suspects face up to life in prison for the brutal kidnapping.
High-profile Bitcoin and crypto investors are increasingly attractive targets for kidnappers. Unlike traditional banking transfers, crypto transactions cannot be canceled or reversed. This means that once attackers gain access to funds, there is almost no way to retrieve them.
For this reason, kidnappers tend to target individuals known to hold substantial crypto investments. Notably, France has become a major epicenter for crypto kidnappings, with at least six incidents recorded by May of 2025.
Both crypto investors and their families are at risk when it comes to kidnappings. In a high-profile case in France, masked attackers attempted to kidnap the daughter and the grandson of Pierre Noizat, the CEO of crypto exchange Paymium.
To protect themselves, crypto holders should never advertise their assets or disclose balances. At the same time, large holdings should be kept on cold storage devices or with custodians, so attackers cannot easily access them.
On Wednesday, prosecutors unsealed indictments against crypto executives John Woeltz and William Duplessie, who are accused of kidnapping a former partner and torturing him for almost three weeks in a posh New York townhouse.
A grand jury has charged the pair with three counts of kidnapping, criminal possession of a weapon, six counts of assault, coercion, and attempted grand larceny.
Between May 6 and May 23, Woeltz, 37, and Duplessie, 33, kidnapped and assaulted a man using a pistol, a chainsaw, and a cattle prod, according to the indictment.
Woeltz and Duplessie pleaded not guilty.

Why You Are Thinking About Ethereum All Wrong
Have you heard? Ethereum is dead. Or no…wait, it is pivoting. The price isn’t high enough. Other chains are gaining traction. Something must be done.
Ethereum is not dead. It is not pivoting. It’s doing just fine.
The constant chatter about Ethereum online seems to fulfill a need for drama that the network itself has failed to provide. Ethereum has been the world’s leading and largest programmable blockchain since its inception. As Ethereum approaches its 10th birthday, it remains the preferred destination for digital asset investors, banks, and start-ups in the crypto ecosystem.
Perhaps the biggest source of friction in the ecosystem comes from the gap between those who see Ethereum as a computing platform—the foundation for the future of digital finance—and those who would like it to be the ideal digital asset and store of value, similar, if not better than Bitcoin. For the latter group, Ethereum’s low asset price relative to Bitcoin is a perpetual source of disappointment.
For people who see Ethereum primarily as a computing platform, the low asset price is secondary to the network’s enormously successful transformation over the last few years. In their view, and my own, Ethereum has gone from strength to strength.
Ethereum then & now
Turn back the clock five years and things looked different. Ethereum was closer to a wildly successful proof of concept than the future of finance.
The network struggled to execute more than a million transactions a day, and when it became congested, transaction fees reached absurd levels, as much as $50 for a single payment or transfer. And every transaction came with a sizable carbon footprint, thanks to the proof-of-work transaction processing system.
Today, the proof-of-work system is gone. In its place, proof of stake handles the same workload with a carbon footprint 99% lower.
Ethereum’s capacity crunch is also a distant memory. Today, the network can handle up to 250-450 million transactions per year, according to recent estimates. Over 100 companies have built expansions on top of Ethereum (known as Layer 2 networks). The enormous mismatch between available capacity and actual typical demand has led to a collapse in transaction fees. Fees on these expansion networks are reliably between $0.01 and $0.10.
Lower transaction fees mean lower “dividends” to network stakeholders. Ethereum’s proof of stake system and Layer-2 scaling were so successful that plunging fees have effectively reduced the “yield” on staking, reducing the value of Ethereum in the views of some investors, especially those that see Ethereum as just a variation on Bitcoin.
But Ethereum is not Bitcoin. Ethereum’s remarkable success has always come from its strength as a platform on which to build. Platforms gather strength over time, fueled by developer communities and the continuous introduction of new capabilities.
This is where Ethereum really shines. The network has operated for nearly a decade without downtime, executing major network upgrades every six to eight months. No other blockchain ecosystem comes close in terms of reliability.
The Ethereum of tomorrow
The Ethereum Foundation (EF), the organization that stewards the development roadmap, has invested strategically in critical technologies and, very importantly, in resilience.
Nearly every major component of the network infrastructure has multiple unique providers, many of them funded by grants from the EF. This means no single point of failure. More than a million people stake Ethereum, per data on Beaconcha.in, and there are more than 10,000 active network nodes. The latest Ethereum roadmap, unveiled in November, is a multi-year path to another order-of-magnitude increase in capacity and performance.
None of this is terribly interesting if you want to make a quick buck selling a meme coin right now. But it is all critically important to banks, corporations, and governments thinking about rebuilding the future of their financial infrastructure. This second group of builders moves more slowly but with far greater long-term value. It’s no surprise that more than 85% of the “real world” digital assets and more than 50% of stablecoin value are on Ethereum.
The asset price of Ethereum may yet recover as rising demand offsets low transaction prices. The pricing pattern of Ethereum now is going to be different.
It’s not digital gold, swinging up and down based on geopolitics. It’s the next network computing platform, driven by sustained growth in transaction volumes. If you adjust your viewpoint, the path upward and onwards becomes a lot more clearly visible.
