Why is the Crypto Market Up Today? Here’s What’s Driving the Big Jump

Published by

Bitcoin Price today surged 3.5% in the past 24 hours, nearing its all-time high of $111,970 after a month of sideways movement. Meanwhile, the global crypto market received a massive boost, adding $150 billion in a single day and driving the total market cap to $3.37 trillion.

But why is the crypto market up today & what’s driving this rally?

US-Vietnam Trade Deal

One of the major catalysts behind today’s rally is the tariff update from the White House. President Donald Trump announced a new trade deal with Vietnam, under which Vietnam will eliminate all tariffs on U.S. goods. In contrast, Vietnamese exports to the U.S. will continue to face duties ranging from 20% to 40%, a highly favorable deal for American trade. 

M2 Money Supply Gives Bitcoin a Push

Bitcoin Price is up today due to a surge in the US M2 money supply, which is a measure of how much money is flowing into the economy. The M2 jumped 4.5% in May, reaching a record $21.94 trillion. This marks the 19th consecutive month of growth. BTC price always tends to follow money supply growth after a few months, so this trend could push prices higher in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin ETFs Attract Big Money

Bitcoin spot ETFs are still pulling in big dollars. On July 2, Bitcoin ETFs saw $407.8 million flow in. Fidelity, Ark Investment, and Bitwise led the pack, seeing an inflow of $184 million, $83million, and $64.9 million, respectively.

Short Traders Got Wiped Out

Another boost came from short liquidations. In the last 24 hours, traders betting against Bitcoin were forced to close losing positions, about $248.85 million of the total $294.5 million came from short positions. Meanwhile, long traders saw liquidation of $45.80 million according to CoinGlass data. 

Altcoins Join the Rally

Meanwhile, it’s not just Bitcoin enjoying the 2.5% rally and trading at around $109,366. Ethereum price today is up by more than 5% trading around $2588, while coins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano have each gained around 5%. 

Even memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are up by 5%–8%. Meanwhile, overall crypto market sentiment remains bullish for today.

FAQs

How does the US-Vietnam trade deal specifically drive Bitcoin’s price surge?

The US-Vietnam trade deal, highly favorable to American trade, boosts overall economic optimism and investor confidence. This positive sentiment encourages capital flow into risk-on assets, including cryptocurrencies. It signals a more stable global economic environment, which can indirectly lead to increased investment in digital currencies.

How does the crypto market sentiment being ‘bullish’ affect future price movements?

A bullish crypto market sentiment, indicating widespread optimism and confidence among investors, often acts as a self-fulfilling prophecy. It encourages more buying, attracts new investors, and can lead to increased trading volumes and upward price momentum. This collective positive outlook can sustain rallies and push prices higher in the short to medium term.

Are there other macroeconomic factors, besides M2 growth, driving the crypto rally?

Besides M2 money supply growth, other macroeconomic factors influencing the crypto rally include institutional adoption (like significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs), potential interest rate cuts by central banks if inflation cools, and broader global liquidity conditions. Geopolitical stability or favorable trade agreements also contribute by increasing overall investor confidence in risk assets.
