Solana Holds Above $152 as Second Round of US-China Talks Raise Hopes for Market Calm
Solana's SOL SOL posted a solid recovery over the past 24 hours, rising as much as 4.83% before retreating to trade around $152.16. While volatility remains elevated, the cryptocurrency has formed a pattern of higher lows, suggesting underlying strength amid a fragile macro backdrop.
The broader market remains focused on renewed trade talks between the United States and China, which kicked off Monday in London. The meetings bring together top officials, including U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, to address longstanding tensions over tariffs and tech restrictions.
While the two sides struck a temporary truce last month, both have since accused each other of backsliding. Analysts say the rare earth export curbs and AI chip controls remain key sticking points that could influence global market sentiment—including for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
Amid this uncertainty, Solana's network continues to show expansion potential, with some institutions projecting price targets as high as $420–$620 in 2026. In the near term, traders will likely watch how macro developments affect appetite for risk-on trades in assets like SOL.

Tariffs are the biggest macroeconomic concern for two in three investors, poll finds
Mounting trade tensions and tariffs have become the single biggest worry for global investors, overshadowing all other economic risks, a new survey shows. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of institutional investors and wealth managers identified trade levies as the most significant macroeconomic concern impacting their strategy, according to a survey published by British investment manager Schroders. The perceived risk from tariffs was more than six times greater than the next highest-ranking concern. The poll, which surveyed nearly 1,000 top investors representing a combined $67 trillion in assets, found that this trade uncertainty is fueling a demand for stability. The study was done between April and May, and ahead of the announcement of the trade deal that U.S. President Donald Trump said was reached with China. The agreement struck on Wednesday is subject to final approval by Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, the White House leader said. Meanwhile, the Schroders survey indicated that about four in five investment professionals polled also said they are likely to increase their allocation to actively managed investments in the coming year, in a bid to stem the volatility caused by macroeconomic events. "Resilience now tops the investment agenda, as the rising tide no longer lifts all boats," said Johanna Kyrklund, group chief investment officer at Schroders. "The wider backdrop is that financial markets are still adjusting back to structurally higher interest rates, made painful in many cases by high levels of debt. This is raising questions about future market trends and the value of passive approaches in a period of greater uncertainty." Kyrklund added, "In this environment, active strategies provide the control investors need to manage complexity, create portfolio resilience and seize opportunities."

The $67,000,000 Chinese mystery in New Hampshire
(NewsNation) — When a billionaire Chinese businessman and his company quietly purchased a commercial building in Nashua, New Hampshire, to ostensibly set up a water plant, the deal went largely unnoticed. That changed when the purchase price was publicly revealed. The company, Nongfu Spring, is China's largest beverage company. The site is next to the Pennichuck water system and allows the company to use local water for a beverage plant. What's raising eyebrows is the mystery of why the company paid $67 million in cash for a property valued at $15 million. 'Being tied into our Pennichuck water system and taking millions of gallons a day of drinking water from the citizens of Nashua is very concerning,' local resident Bob Lozeau told NewsNation. He says most folks in Nashua didn't know about the sale before it happened. State Senator Kevin Avard, a Republican whose district includes part of Nashua, shared his concerns. 'You have the airport here. You have our water supply they are looking to capture,' he told NewsNation. Chinese-owned farmland in the US raises worries of drone attacks at military bases The building spans 337,000 square feet and is situated on 23 acres. It's close to the Nashua Airport, several defense centers and a Federal Aviation Administration control center. Lily Tang Williams fled communism in China and is now running for Congress in New Hampshire as a Republican. 'I did research in English and Mandarin, which is my first language, and I was just shocked,' Williams told NewsNation's Brian Entin. 'I have been trying to warn people,' she says. 'Xi Jinping has a China dream, and his China dream is to use a soft power invasion. Business. Education. Apps like TikTok and WeChat. Media. Entertainment. Everything they can, without firing one shot, to expand into western countries like the United States.' She says China doesn't want her to discuss what she calls the 'soft power invasion' and the national security concerns associated with projects like the Nongfu Spring plant. We asked her what would happen if she spoke out about it in China. 'I would disappear. I'm afraid if I go back, and I go in, they won't let me go out. I would disappear. They want me to shut up,' she told us. The Nongfu Spring expansion in Nashua isn't the only Chinese investment. A few miles away, a Chinese investor purchased the former campus of what was Daniel Webster College. The 50-acre site was sold for $14 million about seven years ago, but it is mostly abandoned today. The mayor of Nashua, Jim Donchess, says the investor paid double what the property was worth. Behind California's underground baby industry bringing Chinese women to the US We asked him why Nongfu Spring would pay more than four times the assessed value for the property by the water plant. 'It's very weird. Why they would do that, I have no idea,' he said. The mayor says he's not against the project, and he doesn't believe there are any national security concerns. The city owns the Pennichuck Corporation water system itself, and the mayor says the city would never consider selling the water company. But he, like everyone else in Nashua, is still wondering why Nongfu Spring paid so much for the property. 'It's very puzzling as to why that would happen,' he said. Nongfu Spring has not yet responded to NewsNation requests for comment. We will update this story if they do. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

EU-US Trade Talks Could Extend Beyond Trump's Deadline
Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. Trade talks between the EU and the US have intensified over the past week, aiming to secure at least a preliminary deal before Washington imposes a 50% tariff on nearly all EU exports. The best-case scenario would be agreement on the principles of an accord by July 9. Yet, we're told European officials believe negotiations sealing the deal in full could extend beyond President Donald Trump's deadline. Officials in Brussels remain cautious. While talks are taking place in a positive environment, they remain difficult — the EU believes the US is seeking one-sided concessions. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick yesterday poured cold water on hopes for a swift accord, telling CNBC yesterday that Washington is prioritizing other partners and an agreement with the EU is likely to be the very last one that the US completes.
