Trump's Iran Ceasefire Deal Sparks Crypto Rally Amid Middle East Tensions

A potential Iran attack has led to increased tensions in the Middle East, causing crypto markets to fluctuate. The situation took a turn when US President Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on June 17. The deal includes a 60-day ceasefire, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping, and the lifting of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.

The Strait of Hormuz is crucial for global petroleum trade, with around one-fifth of the world's oil passing through it. When it closes, energy markets panic, leading to a ripple effect in other asset classes, including digital ones.

Crypto markets have been closely watching the situation, with Bitcoin experiencing a 5% surge after ceasefire-related announcements were made. The price pushed above $105K. Ethereum and Solana also moved in tandem with headline risk.
