\r\n[Financial News] Bitcoin was trading at around $81,000 on the 6th. The move appears to reflect news that progress was made in ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran, as well as expectations that the U.S. digital asset regulation bill, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, will pass.
According to global crypto information platform CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin was trading at around $81,000 as of 10:20 a.m. on the day, up 1.23% from 24 hours earlier. Over the past week, Bitcoin has gained 6.53%.
Bitcoin is trading at around 119 million won in the KRW Market. Based on global crypto price comparison platform Cryprice, the Korea premium stands at 1.05%.
Expectations that tensions in the Middle East may ease improved investor sentiment. On the 5th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that there had been "major progress toward a final agreement with the Iranian delegation" and that he was temporarily suspending Operation Sentinel, which helps commercial ships stranded in the Strait of Hormuz escape.
The growing likelihood of the Clarity bill passing also had a positive effect. On the 1st local time, the United States Senate reached a compromise on how stablecoin yields should be handled. The market expects the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs to review amendment proposals clause by clause on the 11th local time.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, provided by CoinMarketCap, stood at 50 on the day, indicating "neutral." The index ranges from 0 to 100, with values closer to 0 interpreted as "extreme fear" and values closer to 100 as "extreme greed."
At the same time, Ethereum was trading at around $2,371, up 0.45% from the previous day. Ripple (XRP) was trading at around $1.41, up 1.44%.
