Bitcoin and Asian stocks moved higher on Thursday as investors showed renewed appetite for risk. Markets steadied after President Donald Trump struck a calmer tone on tensions linked to Greenland.
Bitcoin rose toward the $90,000 level in early Asian trading. The world’s largest cryptocurrency benefited from easing fears around tariffs and geopolitical escalation.
Asian equities followed Wall Street’s gains. Japan’s Nikkei jumped 1.4%, South Korea’s Kospi added 1.6%, and Australia’s ASX 200 rose 0.6%, snapping a recent losing streak.
The shift in sentiment came after Trump said a “framework of a future deal” involving NATO and Greenland was taking shape. He also signaled he would pause tariff threats that had unsettled markets earlier in the week.
Safe-haven assets slipped as risk demand improved. Gold and silver edged lower, while Treasury yields and the US dollar remained relatively stable.
In crypto markets, analysts urged caution despite the bounce. They said Bitcoin needs to hold above the $90,000 to $92,000 range with lower volatility to confirm a stronger recovery.
For now, investors remain alert. While the tone has improved, Greenland remains a live headline risk, and markets are sensitive to further comments that could quickly shift sentiment again.
