These included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and progress in ongoing peace discussions. The news triggered immediate reactions across financial markets, with Bitcoin jumping to a ten week high above $78,000 while altcoins also rallied, leading to a wave of liquidations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>De Escalation Developments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift began when Donald Trump revealed that Iran had agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a move later confirmed by Iranian officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also stated that both countries would cooperate to remove mines from the strait and work together on handling Iran\u2019s enriched uranium, which would be transferred to the United States. According to Trump, a long term peace agreement involving the United States, Israel, and Iran is close to completion, with further talks expected soon as most issues have already been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further claimed that Iran has agreed to suspend its nuclear program indefinitely and will not receive previously frozen funds from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bitcoin Climbs to New High<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin responded quickly to the announcements, initially rising toward $77,000 before extending gains to reach about $78,400, its highest level since early February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the price has slightly pulled back below $78,000, Bitcoin remains up around 5 percent on the day and over 7 percent higher compared to the same time last week. Major altcoins such as Ethereum and XRP also posted gains above 5 percent, helping push the overall market value past $2.7 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from CoinGlass shows that more than $810 million in leveraged positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours, with long positions accounting for about $663 million. The largest single liquidation occurred on Hyperliquid and was valued at nearly $16 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, oil markets moved in the opposite direction, with USOIL falling by 12 percent over the same period and dropping below $80 for the first time in five weeks.#crypto#cryptonews <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The total cryptocurrency market capitalization climbed to a multi month high above $2.7 trillion following major geopolitical developments.
