Crypto Market Shaky As Trump Ends US-Iran Ceasefire

Crypto market faces its first big jolt along with risk-on assets as President Trump said that the ceasefire agreement with Iran has effectively collapsed. In a shared stage with the NATO chief, Trump criticized the country’s leadership following a fresh wave of Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

“To me, I think it’s over. I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They’re scum… They’re led by sick people,” said Trump.

The renewed attacks disrupted efforts to reopen the strategic shipping route. It has also raised concerns over global energy supplies and escalating tensions in the region.
