Crypto Market Rebounds After Trump Delays Tariffs On Canada And Mexico, But China Retaliates

The crypto market rebounded more than 5% in the last 24 hours after US President Donald Trump agreed to put a temporary hold on proposed 25% import tariffs on Canada and Mexico.

But China hit back with tariffs of 15% on coal and liquefied natural gas, and 10% on crude oil, farm equipment, large displacement vehicles and pickup trucks. It also began an anti-trust investigation into Google. Bitcoin and other major cryptos pared gains after the retaliatory measures were announced.

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a Feb.3 post on X that Trump agreed to pause tariffs on his nation for at least 30 days. He added that the US and Canada would work together and implement a $1.3 billion border plan that includes appointing a Fentanyl czar, listing cartels as terrorists and reinforcing the US-Canada border with helicopters and more staff.

The Bitcoin price has since retraced to trade below the $100K level as of 2:04 a.m. EST, but remains more than 5% up on the daily time frame.

Ethereum (ETH) pumped 7%, while Solana (SOL), Binance Coin (BNB) and Dogecoin (DOGE) recorded respective price increases of 5%, 2% and 6%.

Meanwhile, sales of standout presale tokens MIND of Pepe (MIND), Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) and Solaxy (SOLX) continued to outperform.

S&P Slaps Junk Rating On Michael Saylor’s Strategy, Citing ‘Speculative’ Bitcoin

Image
S&P Global slapped a junk rating on Michael Saylor’s Strategy, citing its heavy reliance on volatile Bitcoin and limited dollar liquidity. The credit rating agency initiated coverage of the Bitcoin treasury firm with a B- rating, six notches below investment grade, saying it has “speculative credit quality with increased default risk.” It pointed to the firm’s concentrated Bitcoin holdings, narrow business focus, and weak risk-adjusted capitalization as key weaknesses. S&P also warned of an “inherent currency mismatch,” noting that all of Strategy’s debt is denominated in US dollars while nearly all its assets are held in Bitcoin. A sharp drop in BTC’s price, it said, could force the company to sell holdings at a loss to meet obligations, creating potential liquidity stress.
