🇨🇳 China Rejects US Sanctions: What’s the Impact on Oil and Crypto Markets?

Confirmed Development
On May 2, 2025, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it does not recognize the US’s unilateral sanctions on oil purchases from Iran and will continue legitimate energy trade. China emphasized that it rejects the US’s long-arm jurisdiction.

Why Is This Important for the Market?
1. Energy Supply & Inflation: China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil. By not complying with sanctions, it prevents global oil supply from tightening. This could reduce inflationary pressure in the US → Higher chance of Fed rate cuts → Positive for risk assets. 2. Anti-Dollar Trade: China-Iran oil trade is generally conducted in Yuan. If the de-dollarization narrative strengthens, alternative reserve assets like BTC and gold may find support in the medium term. 3. Geopolitical Risk Premium: If US-China tensions escalate, crypto market volatility will rise in the short term. Sharp wicks are especially likely during weekends when liquidity is low.

• BTC: When geopolitical risk increases, it first sees selling, then buying as safe-haven perception kicks in. The $65K-$70K BTC range is highly sensitive to this news flow. • Energy Tokens: Gold-backed tokens like PAXG, XAUT, and RWA projects tied to WTI oil prices should be monitored during this process. • USDT/CNH: With developments related to the Chinese Yuan, CNH pairs and offshore stablecoin volumes are increasing.

May is not just about the halving, it’s also a month of geopolitical headlines. It’s essential to follow the news flow in real time when taking positions.
