Markets Recover as Tariff Delay Sparks Investor Optimism
The 90-day postponement of U.S. tariffs, announced by President Donald Trump, has provided much-needed relief for global markets, including crypto.
The initial shock of sweeping tariff measures—targeting imports from China, the EU, and Canada—sparked concerns about a prolonged trade war. However, a partial reversal and the introduction of a negotiation window eased tensions and lifted market sentiment.
Crypto markets rose 3% on the news, as investors responded positively to the pause and growing signs of regulatory clarity in the U.S.
Here are some of the most promising tokens gaining traction as confidence returns.
Solana ($SOL): Leading the Rebound
Solana has emerged as one of the top performers during this relief rally. With a market cap of $61.5 billion, it is now firmly established as a leading Layer 1 alternative to Ethereum.
Recent momentum has been fueled by speculation around a potential Solana spot ETF, which—if approved—could drive significant institutional capital into the ecosystem.
Solana has also been named as a candidate for inclusion in the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as a non-liquid “hold” asset, further validating its long-term role in the crypto economy.
Although SOL is still down over 50% from its January high of $260, a recent bounce—up 6% in the last 24 hours—signals renewed accumulation, with RSI recovering to 52.
Solaxy ($SOLX): Solana’s Scaling Secret Weapon
Solaxy ($SOLX) is one of the most anticipated Solana ecosystem projects. As a Layer 2 solution, Solaxy is engineered to scale Solana’s throughput, slash fees, and enhance dApp performance.
Its unique architecture supports interoperability with Ethereum, a key differentiator for developers seeking cross-chain flexibility.
Currently in presale at $0.00169, Solaxy has already raised nearly $30 million and offers a generous 137% APY on staked tokens—making it a hot ticket for early investors.
XRP: A Global Payments Powerhouse
Ripple’s XRP remains a cornerstone of blockchain-based international payments. Its utility has drawn praise from major institutions, including the United Nations, which recently highlighted XRP’s potential in global remittance systems.
President Trump has also mentioned XRP as a possible component of a U.S. crypto reserve, suggesting rising institutional interest.
Despite volatility, XRP is holding above the $2 psychological support level, with technicals showing stabilization (RSI ~49). With ongoing trade negotiations and regulatory clarity on the horizon, XRP may be positioned for a fresh upward move.
