● Bitcoin (BTC) flirted with $100,000 Thursday as major cryptocurrencies including dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano’s ADA led crypto market gains, boosted by dovish signals from the Federal Reserve and a pending trade deal teased by U.S. President Donald Trump.

● DOGE added 5% and ADA jumped 4%, while ether (ETH), BNB Chain’s BNB, xrp (XRP) and Solana’s SOL gained 2%-3%. The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index tracking the largest tokens, rose 2.2.

● In a social media post late Wednesday, Trump said the U.S. will unveil a “big” trade deal with a “highly respected country” at a press conference slated for 10 a.m. ET. Bloomberg, the Financial Times and New York Times all identified the country as the U.K.

● The announcement would mark the start of “many” such deals, Trump added, raising speculation that months of tariff-fueled uncertainty is set to ease, possibly reviving risk appetite across global markets.
