Bitcoin posted notable gains on Monday, surging 3% to trade above $79,000 after several weeks of persistent losses. The bounce followed last week’s 3.2% decline and coincided with renewed optimism tied to geopolitical developments and crypto regulation in the United States. Former US President Donald Trump indicated prospects for an end to tensions between the United States and Iran. In a post on Truth Social, Trump remarked that “Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly,” and predicted oil prices would “drop like a rock” once hostilities ease. The announcement helped pressure oil prices lower and supported a risk-on move across the digital asset market.
