Iran has reportedly responded to a list of U.S. conditions tied to a possible peace deal, according to reports shared by The Kobeissi Letter. The latest developments kept crypto traders cautious as tensions in the Middle East continued to pressure global markets.
Iran’s reported demands include ending the war across the Middle East, lifting U.S. sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian funds, paying compensation for war damages, and recognizing Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The reported U.S. conditions looked very different. The list reportedly included no compensation for Iran, no release of frozen assets, handing over 400 kilograms of uranium to the United States, and limiting Iran to just one active nuclear facility. The ceasefire would also depend on future negotiations.
Bitcoin stayed near the $78,000 level as traders reacted carefully to the headlines. Bitcoin was trading around $78,400, showing a small daily gain, while Ethereum traded near $2,190. XRP, BNB, and Solana also posted slight gains during the day.
Even with the small rebound, the overall market remained weak. Bitcoin was still down nearly 3% over the past week, while Ethereum had lost more than 5% during the same period. That showed investors were still worried about the ongoing conflict and its effect on global markets.
Crypto prices have continued moving with news related to Iran, oil prices, and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier reports showed Bitcoin briefly falling after President Donald Trump rejected a previous Iranian peace response before later recovering.
The same pattern has repeated throughout the conflict. Any signs of peace talks have pushed crypto prices slightly higher, while threats, military action, or failed negotiations quickly brought fear back into the market.
Traders are also closely watching the Strait of Hormuz because it remains one of the world’s most important energy routes. Before the war started on February 28, the waterway handled about one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments.
As long as tensions remain high in the region, crypto markets are likely to stay sensitive to changes in oil prices, the U.S. dollar, and geopolitical headlines.
