Bitcoin's price surged to nearly $78,000, marking a two-month high as easing geopolitical tensions related to the Iran war spurred investor confidence. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran committed to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, a crucial passage for global energy, which helped calm fears of an energy crisis. This positive sentiment led to significant gains in digital asset treasury firms, with American Bitcoin (ABTC) rising over 21% and Strategy (MSTR) increasing by 13%. Other cryptocurrencies also benefited, with major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) gaining 4%-5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices both reached new record levels, reflecting a broader market risk-on sentiment. Analysts suggest that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could signal the end of inflation fears, further boosting market confidence.
