Bitcoin Reclaims $100,000 After Trump Announces US-UK Trade Deal

Bitcoin climbed above $100,000 on 8 May for the first time since 7 February, extending a month-long rally that has lifted the largest cryptocurrency about 38%. The milestone came after the token briefly traded below $97,000 overnight, underscoring renewed investor demand for digital assets. Market participants pointed to fresh signs of easing trade tensions for the gains.
