Bitcoin was trading at $69,203.64 on Monday, up 3.51% on the day, after reports that Iran and the U.S. had received a ceasefire framework. The leading cryptocurrency had hovered around $66,600 over the weekend before the reports emerged and had been under pressure from the ongoing Iran war and its impact on global risk sentiment.<\/p>\n
The ceasefire framework was reportedly put together by Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey and exchanged with both sides overnight. It follows a two-stage structure: an immediate ceasefire, followed by a broader comprehensive agreement. According to the reports, the plan could take effect as early as Monday.<\/p>\n
Ethereum rose 4.77% to $2,136.31, while XRP gained 3.58% to $1.34. Cardano (ADA) surged 5.61%, and Solana advanced 2.82% to $81.87. The moves contributed to a broad-based rally in digital assets, with the total crypto market capitalization increasing, though the exact figure was not specified.<\/p>\n
The crypto market\u2019s advance was attributed to hopes that a ceasefire in the Iran-U.S. conflict could ease geopolitical tensions and reduce risk aversion in financial markets. Despite these hopes, the VIX volatility index stood at 24.57, up 2.93%, indicating continued market uncertainty.<\/p>\n
In commodities, oil prices edged lower following the ceasefire reports. Brent crude fell 0.36% to $108.64 a barrel. Gold prices reversed earlier losses, trading at $4,711.50, up 0.68% on the day, signaling ongoing demand for perceived safe-haven assets even as risk sentiment improved in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
