Bitcoin Nears $80K as Trump Signals Iran Talks

Bitcoin's price has reached near $80K after US President Donald Trump suggested Iran wanted to reach an agreement with Washington, despite continued fighting in the region.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has risen about 3% to $79,143 from a daily low of $76,388 to an intraday high of $79,325. Trump said on Truth Social that 'The failing Nation of Iran wants to make a deal, quickly and badly.'

Iranian state media rejected his claim, leaving the market without confirmation from both governments.
