📌 As tensions ease in the Middle East, the wind turns in global markets
🌍 Shocking Statement from Trump: "Ceasefire Begins"
#US President Donald #TRUMP announced in a surprise post on X (formerly Twitter) that Israel and Iran have mutually agreed to a ceasefire. Trump stated that this ceasefire will come into effect in approximately six hours.
Trump made the following statements in his statement:
“I congratulate Israel and Iran for the resilience, courage and intelligence they have shown to end this conflict. This conflict should be called the ‘12-Day War.’”
Although no details were given as to how the ceasefire was achieved, diplomatic activity around the world accelerated following this statement.
💣 US-Iran Tension: A Weak Retaliation?
Trump had recently described Iran’s attack on a US air base in Qatar as a “weak and expected” response. Iran launched a missile attack in retaliation for the US bombing of three different nuclear facilities over the weekend, but 13 of the 14 missiles were neutralized.
Trump also noted the following in his statement:
“No American soldiers were harmed. Iran vented its anger. I hope there will be no more hatred. I thank Iran for warning us before the attack.”
No official statement has yet been made by Iran or Israel. However, international observers believe Trump’s words were the result of genuine diplomatic mediation.
💰 Bitcoin Takes Flight with a Ceasefire
Following Trump’s statement, not only the political atmosphere but also the financial markets reacted immediately. A positive movement was observed especially in the cryptocurrency market. With the decrease in geopolitical uncertainties:
Bitcoin (BTC) gained over 4% in value in minutes.
The BTC price jumped from $99,000 to $105,200.
A similar wave of rise has begun in altcoins.
📈 What do experts say?
According to analysts, assets such as gold and Bitcoin, which were seen as safe havens during war scenarios, have whetted investors' appetites again with the end of the war. This increase in prices shows that markets are quickly responding to the peaceful environment.
🧠 Expert Comment: Will This Ceasefire Really Be Permanent?
International Relations expert Dr. Lale Serinç says the following on the subject:
“Trump's statement definitely provided relief to the markets. However, it is early to say that this ceasefire will be permanent before an official statement from Iran and Israel. The reaction of the Iranian public and religious leadership in particular will be decisive.”

This unexpected ceasefire news announced by Trump is considered an important step towards stopping the bloodshed in the region, and may also be the beginning of a new wave of rally for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
