Bitcoin Steadies Near $67,500 as Trump Signals Possible Iran Exit

Markets treated the message as a brief easing of war risk that has been steering money flows and oil prices.

Overview

  • Bitcoin rebounded to about $67,500 after Monday’s Wall Street Journal report that President Trump is willing to end the Iran campaign even if the Strait of Hormuz stays restricted, lifting equity futures and knocking oil back toward $103.
  • Crypto’s total value hovered near $2.32 trillion over the week, a steadier showing than the Nasdaq 100’s roughly 5% slide.
  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs flipped to net outflows in the week ending March 27 with about $414 million leaving after a four‑week inflow streak.
  • Altcoins lagged as Ether held near $2,062 and weekly losses were led by Solana and XRP, while CryptoQuant data show XRP now prices lower on Coinbase than on Binance since March 23, pointing to softer U.S. institutional demand.
  • U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis introduced the Mined in America bill to boost domestic crypto mining and formalize a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a move that could shift where mining gear is sourced and how government holds Bitcoin.
