BlockBeats message: On March 30, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on social media saying:
“America is conducting serious negotiations with a brand-new, more rational regime to end the United States’ military actions in Iran. Great progress has already been made, but if for any reason an agreement is not reached promptly (and an agreement is very likely to be reached), and the Strait of Hormuz cannot immediately ‘open for business,’ we will bring our pleasant ‘stay’ to an end by destroying and completely wiping out all of Iran’s power plants, oil wells, and the island of Khark (possibly also including all seawater desalination plants), targets that we have intentionally ‘not touched’ until now.”
According to HTX market data, influenced by this statement, Bitcoin briefly broke through $68,000 before dipping back down, and is currently quoted at $67,719.
