Bitcoin buoyed by trade optimism
Bitcoin benefited from improved risk appetite after the US and Vietnam announced a trade deal, the third agreement for Washington before the July 9 deadline.
Markets were also encouraged by the US easing some restrictions on chip technology exports to China after the parties reached a framework trade agreement in June.
Progress in trade has boosted hopes for new trade agreements with the US before next week's deadline. US officials said a deal with India was close to being concluded, but talks with Japan and South Korea appeared to have stalled.
Trump also made it clear that he does not intend to extend the July 9 deadline for imposing high trade tariffs on major trading partners.
