Bitcoin rose along with US stocks after Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly said the country would be prepared to end the conflict if it received security guarantees.
The crypto-asset traded at $67,762, up nearly 2% over the past 24 hours. Nasdad roughly doubled its gains on the news, now higher by 3.1%. WTI crude, meanwhile, fell from just $105 a barrel. barrel at 102 dollars.
Pezeshkian’s unconfirmed remarks raise the prospect of a diplomatic fallout, easing fears of a wider conflict that could disrupt oil flows, fuel inflation and continue to rattle global markets.
