Bitcoin held near $88,000 on Monday as Asian markets opened firmer and traders leaned into year-end positioning across equities, commodities and crypto, with liquidity thinning into the holiday stretch.
A broad Asia Pacific share gauge rose about 0.5%, led by tech, after last week’s dip revived talk of a final push higher into 2026.
Crypto did not lead the move, although Bitcoin edged up about 1% in early trading, echoing the steadier tone in risk assets.Market snapshot
