Trump confirmed a deal with President Claudia Sheinbaum on pausing US-Mexico tariffs for one month.
Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and other top crypto assets are up in the past few hours following the announcement by Mexico's president.
The recent crypto market crash and subsequent recovery following news of the trade tariffs reveal its rising correlation with the traditional stock market.

The crypto market saw a recovery as Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum reached an agreement with US President Donald Trump on Monday to pause the US-Mexico tariffs for one month. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP and Solana (SOL) have all been up in the past few hours, recovering from steep declines experienced earlier in the day.

Crypto market rebounds as Trump and Mexico reach new tariff deal

Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum struck a deal with President Trump to cease US-Mexico tariffs for one month. The deal involves the Mexican president deploying 10,000 National Guard troops to help secure the US-Mexico border.

President Trump confirmed the news, stating that both countries will continue negotiations spearheaded by government officials, including Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Following the resolution, Bitcoin reclaimed the $100,000 key level. Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Dogecoin also witnessed gains in the past few hours, as bulls appear to be staging a comeback.

The recent recovery comes after a market-wide decline that wiped out over $2 billion from the crypto derivatives market on Monday following President Trump's new tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.

The reaction from market participants sparked tension of a global trade war, which also saw the global crypto market briefly shed over $500 billion.

Traditional stock markets also witnessed a recovery in the past few hours, with the S&P 500 rising above 6,000 from an intraday low of 5,920.

This underscores the rising correlation between crypto assets like Bitcoin and the stock market.

A similar move occurred last week after Bitcoin's price dipped following the stock market decline sparked by China's artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek.

Additionally, Bitcoin and the crypto market have responded similarly to US economic data in the past year.

Bitcoin, altcoins, stablecoins FAQs

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a virtual currency designed to serve as money. This form of payment cannot be controlled by any one person, group, or entity, which eliminates the need for third-party participation during financial transactions.

What are altcoins?

Altcoins are any cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin, but some also regard Ethereum as a non-altcoin because it is from these two cryptocurrencies that forking happens. If this is true, then Litecoin is the first altcoin, forked from the Bitcoin protocol and, therefore, an “improved” version of it.

What are stablecoins?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to have a stable price, with their value backed by a reserve of the asset it represents. To achieve this, the value of any one stablecoin is pegged to a commodity or financial instrument, such as the US Dollar (USD), with its supply regulated by an algorithm or demand. The main goal of stablecoins is to provide an on/off-ramp for investors willing to trade and invest in cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also allow investors to store value since cryptocurrencies, in general, are subject to volatility.

What is Bitcoin Dominance?

Bitcoin dominance is the ratio of Bitcoin's market capitalization to the total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies combined. It provides a clear picture of Bitcoin’s interest among investors. A high BTC dominance typically happens before and during a bull run, in which investors resort to investing in relatively stable and high market capitalization cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. A drop in BTC dominance usually means that investors are moving their capital and/or profits to altcoins in a quest for higher returns, which usually triggers an explosion of altcoin rallies.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
