2Ethereum stood at $2,764.64, XRP at $1.5907 and DOGE at $0.10104.

Bitcoin held above $86,000 as President Donald Trump said US officials had held a 3-hour meeting with Iranian representatives, describing it as good and productive. EL7's September 23, 2026 snapshot placed Bitcoin at $86,552.26.

Ethereum stood at $2,764.64, while XRP was at $1.5907 and DOGE at $0.10104. EL7's data contain no percentage changes for these assets, so the figures establish price levels but do not prove a broad market rally following Trump's remarks.

CoinDesk reported that WTI crude fell 2.8% to $89.75 after news of the meeting. Lower energy prices can ease inflation and interest-rate expectations and support risk assets, but that potential mechanism does not establish that the remarks caused the move in cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin traded between $86,133.40 and $86,845.39 in EL7's snapshot. Trump said another meeting was scheduled in the near future; the course of the talks and subsequent price data will provide a clearer basis for assessing the market response, while one snapshot is insufficient to label the range strong support or confirm bullish momentum.
