$USDC

Bitcoin rose on Thursday, approaching the key levels of $100,000 as risk appetite was boosted by hopes of easing U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff agenda, following his indication of a major trade deal.

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

This momentum also helped push Bitcoin beyond 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 peaked at $99,381.2.
