Crypto Markets Rebound After Ceasefire, Institutional Demand Remains Strong

The recent ceasefire in tensions between the US and Iran has had a significant impact on cryptocurrency markets, leading to a rebound in both Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.

According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin's price has risen towards $72,800 with over $33 billion in daily volume, while Ethereum has moved back into the $2,200-$2,250 range with volume above $14 billion.

The concentration of capital on core assets such as BTC and ETH has lifted the US Strategic Crypto Reserve, which is valued by its holdings in these two cryptocurrencies.

However, the rebound remains selective, with strong flows into major assets but limited expansion beyond that. Institutional participation continues to play a significant role, with Spot Bitcoin ETFs seeing $240.4 million in inflows on a single day and cumulative flows above $56.7 billion.

The Coinbase Premium Index has also turned positive, signaling renewed U.S.-based buying and institutional demand. However, the signal remains conditional and depends on persistent inflows beyond initial macro-driven recovery.
