Bitcoin Nears Record High Amidst Trade Talks and Positive Investor Sentiment

Bitcoin prices soared past $97,000 this week as trade negotiations between the US and China resumed, reigniting risk appetite among investors. The renewed optimism comes following news of a resumption of dialogue between the two countries after weeks of escalating tariff disputes. Analysts attribute this surge to expanding decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and increased investment from institutional players.
