President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, marking a significant geopolitical development that has impacted cryptocurrency markets.
Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran
According to Trump, the ceasefire agreement was reached after Israel declared it had 'eliminated the Iranian nuclear threat,' prompting Iran to halt missile attacks. Previously, Iran indicated that it would only cease hostilities if Israel did the same, a condition that appears to have been fulfilled.
Crypto Market Reaction to Ceasefire
Following the ceasefire announcement, major cryptocurrencies experienced a sharp uptick in prices as investor confidence began to return. The market, which had faced high volatility in recent days due to war fears, saw a wave of buying. The top gainers in the last 24 hours include:
### **$SEI (Sei)** * **Price:** $0.2807 * **24h Performance:** +38.37% * **7d Performance:** +64.67%

Future Prospects for Cryptocurrency
Analysts expect a short-term rally across major tokens as war fears subside, though caution remains. If the ceasefire holds, market sentiment may continue to improve, potentially allowing Bitcoin to reach previous highs and reignite altcoin momentum. However, any renewed flare-ups in the Middle East could unsettle investors and lead to rapid sell-offs.
The announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran serves as a positive signal for both international politics and financial markets, particularly cryptocurrencies.
