U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the deal a "very substantial framework" for stabilizing trade ties, according to TheStreet, while Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng highlighted the "mutual benefit and win-win results" in the same coverage. The negotiations, which coincided with Trump’s ASEAN visit and were spotlighted by Beincrypto, come ahead of a scheduled meeting between

The crypto market’s rebound followed a steep decline caused by Trump’s October 10 tariff announcement, which wiped out $200 billion from the sector within hours, according to Beincrypto. Bitcoin’s climb back to $113,500 represented a 1.8% increase, while

Still, experts caution that if negotiations break down, volatility could return, and Bitcoin may come under renewed selling pressure as investors turn to safer assets, the same Coindoo coverage noted.

With the Trump-Xi summit drawing near, markets remain cautious. A finalized agreement could spark wider economic confidence, while a collapse might revive concerns about inflation and global instability—situations that have often reinforced Bitcoin’s reputation as a store of value, as discussed in the Coindoo analysis.
