Bitcoin prices fell on Tuesday, retreating further from recent record highs as investors locked in profits ahead of key U.S. inflation data, even as optimism from the U.S.-China trade truce offered a degree of support to broader risk sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By 02:03 ET (06:03 GMT), Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong> was down 1.9% at $102,363.0<\/strong>, cooling after last week\u2019s explosive rally that pushed the token past the $100,000 threshold and as high as $105,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pullback comes as traders position cautiously ahead of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)<\/strong> report due later Tuesday. A stronger-than-expected inflation reading could temper expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, a key macro driver for speculative assets like cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the retreat, BTC remains more than 20% higher over the past two weeks<\/strong>, fueled by easing geopolitical and trade tensions and continued inflows from institutional investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bitcoin\u2019s rally last week was bolstered by news that the U.S. and China<\/strong> agreed to temporarily slash reciprocal tariffs<\/strong>. The U.S. reduced its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%<\/strong>, while China cut its retaliatory tariffs from 125% to 10%<\/strong>, both for a 90-day period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tariff de-escalation was formalized in a joint statement following Geneva talks<\/strong>, which marked the first major progress in trade diplomacy between the two nations in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adding to the optimism, President Donald Trump<\/strong> signed an executive order lowering duties on low-value Chinese imports (De Minimis) from 120% to 54%<\/strong>, further relieving pressure on supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Markets are also digesting regulatory headlines, including SEC Chair Paul Atkins’<\/strong> announcement of forthcoming rules governing digital tokens<\/strong>. These are expected to address token distributions, secondary trading, and exemptions from traditional securities law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the details are pending, the move is viewed by analysts as a step toward regulatory clarity<\/strong>, potentially fostering greater institutional adoption<\/strong> in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amid the more favorable U.S. regulatory climate, American Bitcoin<\/strong>, a mining venture co-founded by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.<\/strong>, confirmed plans to go public via a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining<\/strong>, with the combined entity set to list on Nasdaq<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The announcement underscores the Trump administration\u2019s pro-crypto positioning<\/strong>, which has already spurred renewed interest from firms aiming to tap U.S. capital markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In parallel, Animoca Brands<\/strong>, a major Hong Kong-based crypto investor, is reportedly exploring a U.S. IPO<\/strong>, according to the Financial Times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Bitcoin\u2019s losses remained modest, altcoins<\/strong> saw sharper declines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notably, XRP<\/strong> bucked the trend, gaining 4.5% to $2.5071<\/strong>, supported by positive sentiment after recent legal developments and ecosystem growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among meme tokens<\/strong>, Dogecoin (DOGE)<\/strong> plunged 7.8%<\/strong>, while $TRUMP<\/strong>\u2014a politically themed token\u2014declined nearly 10%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shares of Kindly MD Inc (NASDAQ:KDLY)<\/strong> surged over 600% intraday<\/strong> to a peak of $31.45<\/strong>, before closing up 251% at $13.69<\/strong>, after the firm announced a merger with Nakamoto Holdings<\/strong> to adopt a Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy<\/strong>\u2014a move reminiscent of MicroStrategy\u2019s earlier model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin prices fell on Tuesday, retreating further from recent record highs as investors locked in profits ahead of key U.S. inflation data, even as optimism from the U.S.-China trade truce offered a degree of support to broader risk sentiment.
