Bitcoin Soars Past $64,000 as Pakistan PM Hints at Iran Peace Deal

Bitcoin’s price rose above $64,000 on Saturday, briefly hitting a high of over $64,200 that day. It’s gained more than 1% in the last 24 hours and is now over 8% higher than its low point in June, which was just above $59,000. As the leading cryptocurrency, this represents a significant increase.

I’m seeing a boost in market confidence, and that’s being reinforced by some encouraging news regarding the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Things seem to be stabilizing, which is definitely helping sentiment right now.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister stated on X: “We are closer to a peace deal than ever before. With finalisation likely within the next 24 hours, Pakistan is preparing for the electronic signing of the agreement immediately afterwards, followed by technical-level talks next week.”

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw their biggest single-day increase in investments since May on Friday, bringing in a net total of $85.9 million. This was the largest inflow since May 14th.

According to a Standard Chartered analyst, investors in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have reportedly been selling their holdings to get cash for the upcoming SpaceX initial public offering (IPO). The launch of SpaceX’s IPO on Friday could relieve this recent trend of ETF sales, the analyst noted.

Bitcoin’s price has increased by about 1% this week. If it stays at this level until the week ends, it will stop a four-week losing streak.
