Bitcoin maintained levels around $108,000 on Wednesday as global stock markets fell and gold prices climbed. The market movement followed rising uncertainty regarding potential trade negotiations between the United States and China.
According to CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin was priced at $108,071.84, while Ethereum dropped 0.9% to $3,855.69 and XRP declined 1.1% to $2.40. BNB was down 0.3%, with Dogecoin and Cardano each decreasing 1.3%. Gold advanced by 0.7% early Wednesday as investors moved away from equities.
Data from SoSoValue indicated strong inflows into crypto exchange-traded funds, with spot Bitcoin ETFs logging $477.2 million in new assets Tuesday, and Ethereum ETFs capturing $141.7 million. These investments occurred as gold experienced a 5% selloff, with analysts citing investor portfolio rebalancing.
Investor sentiment was influenced by recent comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, who expressed optimism for a “fair trade deal” with Chinese President Xi Jinping, but also cautioned that discussions could still be called off. “I think we’re going to have a very successful meeting. Certainly, there are a lot of people that are waiting for it… Maybe it won’t happen,” Trump stated regarding his meeting in South Korea.
On the retail side, sentiment toward Bitcoin was reported as neutral, with some traders observing that the cryptocurrency’s relative strength index—a measure of momentum—was nearing oversold territory. This could indicate the potential for a future price move.
Meanwhile, Tether announced reaching 500 million users. The company clarified that this figure counts actual individuals, not just digital wallets. Last month, Tether also revealed participation in funding discussions that could raise up to $20 billion at a possible $500 billion valuation, positioning the firm among the world’s largest private companies.
