Bitcoin surged to an unprecedented record high, crossing the $94,000 mark. The rise comes in the wake of reports that Donald Trump's social media venture is in acquisition talks with crypto trading firm Bakkt.

The potential acquisition by Trump Media and Technology Group is anticipated to foster a pro-cryptocurrency environment, further driving Bitcoin's performance. Notably, this surge coincided with traders capitalizing on the initial day of Bitcoin ETF options trading on Nasdaq.

The cryptocurrency market has been buoyant since Trump's election, with many expecting regulatory leniency. Consequently, Bitcoin's momentum has played a significant role in propelling the global cryptocurrency market value beyond $3 trillion.
