Bitcoin has once again surpassed the $100,000 mark, buoyed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily halt tariffs against Mexico, a move which has mitigated some of the market’s prevailing apprehensions.
This latest rally sees Bitcoin priced at $100,108.46, experiencing a daily surge of 2.90%, according to CoinMarketCap data.
The decision to defer tariffs came after an agreement with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to deploy 10,000 national guards to the U.S.-Mexico border to tackle drug trafficking concerns.
