Bitcoin rises above $64,000 after Pakistan prime minister says Iran peace deal is near

Bitcoin climbed above $64,000 on Saturday, marking an 8% recovery from recent lows as increased ETF inflows and potential geopolitical stability in the Middle East boost investor sentiment.

Key Points

  • Bitcoin reached an intraday high of over $64,200, putting the cryptocurrency on track to end a four-week losing streak.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $85.9 million in net inflows on Friday, the highest daily total since May 14.
  • Pakistan’s Prime Minister announced that a regional peace agreement is nearing finalization, potentially reducing geopolitical tensions.
  • Analysts suggest that the conclusion of the SpaceX initial public offering may alleviate recent selling pressure from investors liquidating crypto positions.

Why it Matters

The rebound signals a shift in market momentum as institutional capital flows into spot ETFs and macroeconomic uncertainty begins to subside. This price recovery suggests that Bitcoin remains sensitive to both traditional financial market events and broader geopolitical developments.
