PI and These Altcoins Surge the Most as Bitcoin (BTC) Neared $106K (Market Watch)
May 25, 2025 6:41 PM

Bitcoins price shot up to almost $106,000 for the first time in over four months after the US and China rescinded their massive tariffs imposed last month.

Many altcoins have exploded over the past day once again, led by Pi Networks mindblowing surge of over 60% as of now. Many meme coins have registered notable gains as well.

New ATH Coming Soon?

If we roll back the clock for a week, we will see that BTCs price struggled to remain above $94,000 last Monday. After some hesitation around that level for the next day or so, the cryptocurrency started charting impressive gains as the US and China promised to have trade talks during the weekend in Switzerland.

The former also struck a deal with the UK, and the overall improving macroeconomic landscape resulted in more gains for the largest digital asset. Bitcoin skyrocketed past $100,000 on Thursday and kept climbing to $104,000 on Friday.

It faced some resistance there and traded quietly during the weekend, but the bulls went on the offensive once again on Monday morning. At first, Beijing and Washington were slightly vague in their wording about the talks, but later details revealed that both have agreed to lower the tariffs significantly for an initial 90-day period.
