El-Erian (@elerianm) October 24, 2025 Crypto prices do well when the Federal Reserve is cutting rates.

Trump and Xi Jinping meeting The other potential catalyst for the crypto market will be the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping at the APEC meeting in South Korea. This meeting, which will happen on Thursday next week, aims to reduce tensions between the two countries and possibly reach a deal. An agreement would prevent the escalation of the trade war, which would be a good thing for stocks and cryptocurrencies. For one, it would reduce the chances of higher inflation. It comes as the two sides have heightened he rhetoric in the past few weeks. Trump’s threat to add a 130% tariff on Chinese goods led to a crypto market crash and $20 billion in liquidations earlier this month. China has threatened to implement export controls on rare earth materials. It has also started an investigation into Qualcomm and added tariffs on American ships docking in the country.
