"Nuclear" or "Peace"? US-Iran deal uncertainty resurfaces, strong tokens take the chance for a shakeout, bitcoin remains weak

BlockBeats News, May 25 — In the past 24 hours, the U.S.-Iran agreement shifted from "basically reached" to "not yet agreed upon", causing renewed tension in the markets. According to various sources, the key divergence in current U.S.-Iran peace talks lies in the Iran nuclear issue: Iran expects a verbal commitment and to retain its uranium stockpile, while the U.S. expects implementation details and a specific timetable for handling enriched uranium.

In short, although most issues can be negotiated, the two sides still have significant differences on matters of principle. In the coming days, an intensifying struggle between the two sides and even a renewed tightening of the situation can be expected.

In the markets, traditional investors have shown strong confidence in the U.S.-Iran situation. Crude oil opened sharply lower, while the three major U.S. stock index futures opened higher and rose further. Nasdaq 100 index futures rose by 1%, S&P 500 index futures rose by 0.65%, and Dow futures rose by 0.54%.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin has been relatively weak, mainly moving sideways after returning to $77,000. Strong coins represented by HYPE and ZEC took advantage of the weekend to complete a strong shakeout, then resumed their upward momentum. At press time, HYPE is quoted at $63.169, up 8.3% in 24 hours. ZEC is quoted at $666.53, up 3.9% in 24 hours.
