In an unexpected turn, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine will immediately begin ceasefire negotiations following a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Although Putin did not commit to an immediate cessation of hostilities, he expressed his willingness to work on a peace memorandum with Ukraine.
This announcement has generated expectations in financial and crypto markets. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $105,647, with a slight decrease of 0.10% in the last 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) shows an increase of 3.00%, standing at $2,516.54. XRP, for its part, is at $2.38, with a decline of 0.83%.
The possibility of a peaceful resolution to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could reduce geopolitical uncertainty, which has historically favored risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. However, the lack of concrete details and skepticism about Russia's intentions keep investors cautious.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reaffirmed his willingness for an unconditional ceasefire and called for greater international pressure on Moscow. Trump, for his part, hinted at possible trade benefits for Russia if peace is achieved, but also warned of harsher sanctions if negotiations do not progress.
In summary, as world leaders strive to end a conflict that has caused thousands of deaths, markets are watching closely, aware that a resolution could mark the beginning of a new era of stability and growth.
