The crypto market cap surged 2.8% today, hitting a new high of $3.37 trillion, largely driven by a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East. This geopolitical de-escalation has boosted investor confidence, reducing risk-off sentiment that previously weighed on volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. The rally reflects a broader market relief, with major coins like Bitcoin and XRP leading gains. However, the sustainability of this uptick remains uncertain as traders monitor global stability and macroeconomic cues, such as U.S. interest rate expectations. Reuters reports that the ceasefire has also lifted equities and commodities, suggesting a correlated risk-on environment.
