Bitcoin Breaks $112,000 in First as Traders Defy Tariff Angst - BLOOMBERG
Bitcoin surged past $112,000 for the first time, setting a fresh record alongside a broad rally in risk assets that has swept up technology stocks big and small. The original cryptocurrency rose as much as 3.1% to $112,009, pushing its gain this year close to 20%.
The move underscores the speculative momentum gripping markets even as President Donald Trump unleashes a fresh barrage of tariff announcements. The crypto rally is far from isolated: Nvidia Corp.’s brush with a $4 trillion valuation in Wednesday trading helped push the S&P 500 within a whisker of its record, with fast-money investors joining the stock-market fray.
