Bitcoin Blasts Past $81,000 as Trump Considers Ending Iran War
Bitcoin's price surged past $81,000 on Thursday as reports emerged that Donald Trump's inner circle is advising him to declare the Iran war officially over.
The move comes as pressure mounts ahead of the midterm elections, with senior aides warning that further escalation could cost Republicans the November polls.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller also weighed in, signaling his support for holding interest rates steady in September, which is expected to provide a boost to Bitcoin's price.
