Details
Bitcoin rose on Monday, bolstered by optimism about the upcoming "crypto week" in Washington. Lawmakers in Washington will kick off "Crypto Week" on July 14, seeking to advance at least three key bills regulating digital assets.
These measures are expected to provide clearer legal frameworks for crypto markets, particularly regarding stablecoins, digital infrastructure, and privacy protection.
New statements and subsequent expectations from the White House administration in the context of global trade and customs tariffs also influence the price of Bitcoin.
The American president stated that many trade agreements with foreign countries would be closed by the July 9 deadline. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later added that so-called "reciprocal" tariffs would take effect on August 1.

In addition, Elon Musk's influence is contributing to Bitcoin's strengthening. The tech mogul publicly stated in a post on his official X profile that his new party intends to "accept" Bitcoin.
"The American Party" will support Bitcoin. Fiat money is useless, so yes, that's it.
However, risk appetite remained limited in broader markets due to uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, media reported.
