Due to rising tensions between the United States and Iran over the weekend, the stock market fell. The U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement is set to expire on Wednesday evening U.S. Eastern Time, shifting attention to whether the United States and Iran can resume negotiations to ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin has been gradually rising from yesterday’s low of 73,724 USD, reclaiming and trading above 75K, driven mainly by inflows of institutional capital and a return of funds to Bitcoin ETFs. MicroStrategy (Strategy) bought 34,164 bitcoins worth 2.54 billion USD, bringing its total holdings to 815,000 BTC. It has officially surpassed BlackRock’s IBIT ETF’s 803,000 units, becoming the largest institutional holder of bitcoin worldwide. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of 997 million USD last week, a new high since mid-January.
The ceasefire agreement is about to expire! Is there a chance for the next round of talks?
The U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement is set to expire on Wednesday evening U.S. Eastern Time, shifting attention to whether the United States and Iran can resume negotiations to ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, preliminary talks held between the two sides in Islamabad ended in failure.
U.S. President Trump said that if an agreement cannot be reached before the deadline, he is unlikely to extend the ceasefire agreement with Iran, making it even more urgent for negotiators to reach an agreement to end the war.
The next round of negotiations is expected to take place in Pakistan. According to informed sources, Iran will also send a delegation, but it is currently unclear who will lead the delegation. These informed sources did not want to be named. Earlier, Tehran said it was taking a cautious approach toward participating in further peace talks with the United States.
