Bitcoin Treads Water Above $64k Amid Hormuz Deal Hopes
Bitcoin traded above $64k on Wednesday as investors remained hopeful that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz was imminent.
The world's largest currency rose 1% to $64,305.6 by 02:33 ET (06:33 GMT), despite remaining within a tight trading range.
The optimism over a potential deal to reopen the key waterway sparked risk-on moves in markets, with oil prices falling and artificial intelligence stocks seeing strong earnings.
However, crypto investors remained cautious, favoring more established assets over speculative plays like Bitcoin.
