Live updates: Bitcoin holds $62,600 as the Iran conflict reignites and CPI looms
Bitcoin traded near $62,600, down slightly over 24 hours and stable for the week, amid renewed geopolitical tension as President Trump reinstated the U.S. blockade on Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing Brent crude oil prices up around 2.8%. This development reversed a prior peace agreement, increasing inflation concerns and boosting expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, which negatively impacts crypto markets. While Bitcoin has ranged between $59,000 and $66,000 for the past month, Ether was slightly up, and other major tokens like Solana and XRP dropped over 5%. The upcoming June inflation report will be key in determining the Fed's next move and the cryptocurrency market's direction.
