Trump Claims All-Day Talks with Iran as Crypto Markets Hold Breath
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington held all-day negotiations with Iran on Tuesday, framing the talks as a critical moment in the diplomatic saga between the two nations. The stakes are high, not just for traditional geopolitics, but also for crypto markets, which have become attuned to every twist in the US-Iran standoff.
The negotiations center on two key issues: the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. Trump emphasized the involvement of allies like Saudi Arabia in the diplomatic framework, while Tehran has said there are 'no immediate plans' for direct talks with the US, preferring third-party mediation.
Crypto traders have taken notice of the developments, as Bitcoin and Ether have moved in lockstep with escalation and de-escalation signals throughout 2026. During periods of military escalation, digital assets have faced selling pressure, while ceasefire extensions and diplomatic breakthroughs have led to price increases.
