Bitcoin Holds Steady Despite Geopolitical Tensions and Bitget Breach
Bitcoin slipped by 1.6% to $82,900 on September 28, 2026, following President Trump's rejection of Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The decline was linked to geopolitical tensions and a possible military action in the region, but Bitcoin remained resilient, up around +1.5% over the past week.
The increase coincided with increased US spot Bitcoin ETF demand, which saw inflows of about $2.2 billion over the first four sessions of the prior week.
