The cryptocurrency<\/span> bellwether rose as much as 3.4 per cent to US$123,205 as of 9.10am in London, as digital assets staged a broad advance. Ether, the second-largest token, also gained, along with a host of smaller coins. The cryptocurrency gains came as stock markets across Europe retreated.<\/div>\n
After surging on the election of Donald Trump<\/span> to a second US presidential term, bitcoin had settled into a pattern of fluctuating on either side of US$100,000 for several months.<\/div>\n

Concerns about Trump’s political and economic policies had helped to temper optimism over the pro-cryptocurrency agenda of his administration. Now, with other risk assets such as US stocks back around record highs, bitcoin has also resumed its push higher.<\/p>\n

Progress on crucial digital asset legislation is adding fresh fuel to the rally. The House will debate and possibly vote this week on the Clarity Act, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act and the US Senate’s stablecoin<\/span> package, the Genius Act<\/span>, as Republicans move to advance Trump’s cryptocurrency-friendly agenda.<\/div>\n

The prospect of a clear US regulatory framework, along with bitcoin’s steady advance in the face of Trump’s chaotic trade policy, has bolstered confidence in the asset class among institutional investors.<\/p>\n
