Performance of Bitcoin and Other Cryptos
The cryptocurrency markets saw a significant uptick, with Bitcoin (BTC) rising by 5.1% over the past 24 hours to $106,017, recovering from a dip below $100,000 on Monday. Other cryptocurrencies, including Ether (ETH) and XRP, saw notable gains as well: Ether rose 10.6%, while XRP surged 11.2%.
Market Changes and Conflict Impact
Bitcoin has historically shown positive performance during global instability. In response to conflicts, such as the US-Iran tensions in 2020 and Russia's attack on Ukraine in 2022, it has shown resilience and often acts as a hedge against systemic risks. In this context, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) rose by 9.6%-10% after news of a potential ceasefire.
The recovery of the crypto market amid decreased international tensions underscores its sensitivity to global events. Investors continue to monitor developments in the Middle East closely.
