Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, surged past the closely watched $100,000 threshold late on 22 June and extended gains to roughly $101,350 in early Asia trading on 23 June. The jump restored Bitcoin’s market capitalisation to about $2 trillion, according to price feeds cited by multiple market monitors. The latest leg higher followed the Sunday evening opening of U.S. futures markets, which traders often view as a bellwether for digital-asset sentiment.
