    Major digital assets were firmer Thursday, with Bitcoin trading above the $97,000 level. The CoinDesk Market Index, which tracks 126 digital assets, rose 3.3% in the past 24 hours.

    US stock indexes were in the red in late trading, with the Nasdaq 100 down 0.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average about 0.3% and 0.4% lower, respectively.

    Bitcoin climbed 3% to $97,433, with a trading volume of $46.5 billion, up 90.5%, according to CoinMarketCap data. Ethereum (ETH-USD), the second-largest digital asset by market value, was up 2.9% at $3,450.
