Bitcoin's price surged above $69,000 on Monday, reaching $69,065.9 after news emerged of a potential ceasefire framework between Iran and the United States. This agreement, which could lead to the reopening of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, was reportedly facilitated by Pakistan and includes a two-tier process for immediate ceasefire and subsequent negotiations. The positive sentiment surrounding this development contributed to a broader risk-on mood in the market, with Bitcoin rising 3.4%. Other cryptocurrencies also experienced gains; Ethereum increased by 4.8% to $2,135.92, while Cardano jumped 6%. Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump emphasized that Iran must restore tanker traffic by Tuesday evening or face potential military action against its infrastructure. Investors are also digesting stronger-than-expected U.S. payroll data, which suggests that the Federal Reserve may maintain elevated interest rates for a longer period.
