Key Takeaways:
Bitcoin climbed 4.6% to $75,004 in 24 hours as comments from President Donald Trump revived hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace deal.
President Donald Trump said on Monday that the “right people” in Iran still wanted to make a deal, even though talks over the weekend failed.
The crypto rally fueled gains in related equities. Online trading platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD) rose 7.9%, crypto exchange Coinbase Global (COIN) gained 5.4%, and corporate Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy (MSTR) also added 5.4% on Tuesday.
A potential peace agreement could mark a turning point for digital assets, which have struggled through a "crypto winter" as the conflict sapped investor appetite for risk. A sustained rally could boost revenues for crypto-exposed firms.
The broader crypto market has been under pressure since the initial U.S. strikes on Iran. While there is no direct link between the conflict and cryptocurrency fundamentals, the resulting geopolitical uncertainty has broadly dampened demand for assets perceived as high-risk.
For companies like Robinhood, Coinbase, and MicroStrategy, whose revenues and balance sheets are heavily tied to crypto transaction volumes and prices, a market rebound is critical. Their stock prices often move in tandem with major digital assets like Bitcoin.
