Bitcoin rose on Thursday, approaching the key levels of $100,000 as risk appetite was bolstered by hopes of easing the agenda of U.S. President Donald Trump on tariffs, after he hinted at a major trade deal.

The largest cryptocurrency in the world continued its strong gains from the previous session, which were driven by confirmation from the United States and China that some trade talks would take place this week.

This momentum also helped push Bitcoin past concerns about a slowdown in the U.S. economy and trade disruptions raised by the Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin rose by 2.6% to $98,868.6 by 08:28 Saudi time, having reached a high of $99,381.2.
