Cryptocurrencies jumped on Wednesday on news that Donald Trump stepped back some tariff burdens on countries — except for China.

According to Trump’s post on Truth Social, he issued a 90-day delay on tariffs and a substantially lowered 10% rate of reciprocal tariff for this period against all countries except China. Meanwhile, he said he raised tariffs for China to 125%, “effective immediately.”
