2The announcement triggered a sharp turnaround in crypto market sentiment after a slide throughout the weekend.

3Cryptocurrencies are reacting very positively to this change in political tone.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant recovery after Donald Trump announced that planned military strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure would be halted, easing geopolitical fears. Following a slight 0.3% increase, the total crypto market capitalization reached $2.43 trillion. The market is currently characterized by low volatility, indicating price consolidation and potential readiness for a further rally. This rebound was bolstered by strong institutional support, with crypto assets recording $230 million in weekly inflows led by Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Solana recorded $17 million in inflows as it eyes a potential breakout, while Ethereum experienced a divergence with notable outflows. Analysts suggest that the stabilization of geopolitical conditions, combined with $635 million in institutional inflows during the first two days of the week, has effectively reversed recent bearish sentiment.
