China and US Set to Meet: Bitcoin Briefly Jumps Above $97,000
Bitcoin, the pioneering cryptocurrency, has captivated the world with its price fluctuations once again.
On Wednesday morning, May 7, 2025, Bitcoin briefly rose above the $97,000 level in Asian trading sessions. This surge was influenced by several factors, including positive developments in US-China trade relations.
US-China Trade Talks
The Bitcoin rally coincided with official announcements from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that they were set to meet with their Chinese counterparts in Switzerland.
This first ice-breaker meeting since President Donald Trump launched a trade war against China instilled optimism in the market.
