In a move drawing attention across financial markets, President Trump’s Executive Director of Digital Assets met with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele on June 5, 2025. The meeting, shared publicly by crypto influencers, focused on Bitcoin’s role in both national and global finance.
El Salvador has been a pioneer in adopting Bitcoin, making it legal tender in 2021. The country currently holds over 5,800 BTC, a significant national reserve in digital currency. This U.S.-El Salvador dialogue highlights growing interest in cross-border cooperation around Bitcoin adoption and usage.
Bitcoin climbed to $71,200, marking a 3.2% 24-hour gain as of mid-day June 5, alongside an 18% surge in daily trading volume. The positive sentiment extended to crypto-related equities. MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN) gained 4.7% and 3.9% respectively in early trading, while Riot Platforms (RIOT) also saw a 2.5% pre-market boost.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs reflected the optimism too. Net inflows hit $105 million on June 4, and ProShares’ Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) rose 3.1% to $28.40.
Bitcoin broke past the $70,000 resistance early Thursday. On the 4-hour chart, RSI rose to 62, signaling bullish momentum without overbought conditions. Binance’s BTC/USDT pair saw over $12 billion in volume. The 50-day moving average at $68,500 now acts as a key support level.
On-chain data echoed the enthusiasm. Active wallet addresses grew 12% week-over-week to 1.1 million. Transaction volume surged 15% to 320,000 in one day, per Blockchain.com.
Traders may interpret the meeting as a bullish signal for Bitcoin and assets tied to payment infrastructure, such as Litecoin (LTC) and XRP. Short-term volatility is likely, especially across BTC/USD and BTC/ETH pairs, but the broader mood appears optimistic.
For equity traders, crypto-aligned stocks and ETFs may benefit from the increasing overlap between digital assets and traditional finance. With the S&P 500 futures also ticking up 0.8%, investors are signaling a broader risk-on appetite.
The meeting reinforces Bitcoin’s growing legitimacy as a strategic asset in global finance. If it leads to coordinated policy shifts—especially in the U.S.—it could deepen institutional engagement with digital currencies. Whether this meeting sparks actual regulatory or commercial collaboration remains to be seen, but the market is clearly watching.
As Bitcoin continues to blur the line between geopolitics and finance, this event marks another step toward a more interconnected digital economy.
