BTC
Stock markets fell as tensions between the US and Iran escalated over the weekend. With the US-Iran ceasefire agreement set to expire on Wednesday evening Eastern Time, attention has turned to whether the US and Iran can resume negotiations to ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin has slowly climbed from yesterday's low of $73,724, reclaiming the $75K mark, driven primarily by an influx of institutional funds and the return of capital to Bitcoin ETFs. MicroStrategy purchased 34,164 Bitcoins worth $2.54 billion, bringing its total holdings to 815,000 BTC, officially surpassing BlackRock's IBIT ETF (803,000 BTC) to become the world's largest institutional holder of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF inflows reached $997 million last week, hitting a new high since mid-January.
Ceasefire Agreement Expiring Soon! Next Round of Talks on the Horizon?
With the US-Iran ceasefire agreement set to expire on Wednesday evening Eastern Time, attention has turned to whether the US and Iran can resume negotiations to ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Previously, preliminary talks held in Islamabad ended in failure.
US President Donald Trump stated that he is unlikely to extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran if a deal is not reached by the deadline, making it even more urgent for negotiators to reach an agreement to end the war.
The next round of talks is expected to take place in Pakistan. People familiar with the matter revealed that Iran will also send a delegation, but it is currently unclear who will lead it. These individuals declined to be named. Previously, Tehran had expressed caution about participating in further peace talks with the US.
