Breaking news! The US and Iran may reach an agreement, and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could be lifted

Just now, Bitcoin surged again—again and again and again—while gold also jumped at the same time. Oil prices fell again, dropping back to $92. I quickly glanced at the news, and sure enough, Saudi Arabia has reported that the US and Iran may reach an agreement. Iran may gradually open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US lifting the maritime blockade. Over the next few hours, we may witness a breakthrough in the situation of ships trapped in the strait.

If the news is true, the implications don’t need to be said—gold and Bitcoin are already up, while crude oil is down.

Go a step deeper: the “old American” side is seeing a higher likelihood of rate cuts. When there’s more money and money gets cheaper, the first to benefit are assets like BTC and ETH.

Once the strait is open, everyone won’t worry about war anymore.

As risk appetite grows, funds will slowly leak out of pure safe-haven assets like gold and move into more flexible things. History has shown that in the crypto world, it’s often that space that rallies the hardest.

Let’s talk about how some mainstream coins are viewing it:

· **BTC:** The big brother of digital gold. Every time expectations of looser liquidity pick up, it’s usually the first to react.

· **ETH:** Ecosystem activity is rebounding. If new capital comes in, it won’t be absent.

· **SOL:** High elasticity—when the market is moving upward, it rises hard; when the market turns, it falls fast too. It suits friends who are keeping a clear head.

Finally, a quick risk reminder: since this news hasn’t been officially announced, its truthfulness still needs verification. It’s best not to chase the rally. If you’re bold, you can take a small position to short gold and Bitcoin—your bet is that the news is false—but make sure to set your stop-loss.

In the next one or two days, watch three things:

1. Whether the first oil tanker can get out smoothly

2. Whether the Federal Reserve will someone give hints about cutting rates

3. Whether BTC’s upside can keep pace with gold
