The day before, Trump stated in a televised address that the war with Iran was "close to ending." However, during the same speech, he promised to deliver an "extremely strong" strike against the opponent within three to four weeks, which would send the country "back to the Stone Age."
After the statement, all markets, including S&P 500, Nasdaq, gold, and cryptocurrencies, saw a downturn. Only oil showed growth.
At one point, Bitcoin dropped to $65,700.
The situation stabilized by Thursday evening, when reports emerged of Iran and Oman developing a monitoring protocol for the movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
"These requirements will not mean restrictions, but rather are intended to facilitate and ensure safe passage and provide better services to ships going through this route," said Kazem Garibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Justice and International Affairs.
This news "revived" investors, helping recover part of the recent decline. As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $66,800, down 3% in 24 hours.
