#USChinaTradeTalks Trade negotiations between the USA and China affect not only traditional markets but also cryptocurrency. For example, during the escalations in 2019–2020, investors actively transferred assets into BTC as a hedge against geopolitical instability. After the introduction of new tariffs or sanctions from the USA, the cryptocurrency market usually showed increased volatility. Some analysts believe that crypto can serve as 'digital gold' especially during periods of international tension. If the next round of negotiations ends in failure, it is quite likely to see another wave of interest in bitcoin. This once again proves how closely political events are linked to the sentiments of the crypto market.
