Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark on Thursday for the first time since early February, driven by optimism following a broad trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. — a development seen as a possible sign that President Donald Trump’s global trade tensions may be easing.
By midday, bitcoin was trading at $101,402.19, up 4.8% for the day. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has returned to positive gains for the year, though it still remains below its record high of over $109,000 set in January.
