Bitcoin surged past $100,000 for the first time in over two months on Friday, triggered by US President Trump’s announcement of a US-UK trade deal. The cryptocurrency’s price jumped 3.9% on international exchanges, reaching $102,722 (approximately Rs. 88.1 lakh). Indian exchanges saw a more significant increase of 5.20%, with Bitcoin trading at $97,915 (roughly Rs. 84 lakh). The broader cryptocurrency market experienced a substantial boost, adding over $240 billion in value following the announcement, suggesting a positive correlation between geopolitical news and digital asset performance.
