“Nuclear” or “Peace”? US-Iran agreement suspense flares up again, and strong coins use the opportunity to complete a shakeout, while Bitcoin remains weak

BlockBeats News, May 25 — In the past 24 hours, the U.S.-Iran agreement has shifted from "basically reached" to "not yet finalized," tightening market nerves once again. Based on information from various sources, it appears that the key disagreement in the U.S.-Iran negotiations currently lies in Iran's nuclear issue: Iran expects a verbal commitment while reserving its uranium stockpile; whereas the U.S. expects detailed implementation and a specific timetable for handling enriched uranium.

In short, although most issues can be resolved through negotiations, there remains a significant divergence between both sides on fundamental principles. Over the next few days, increased tug-of-war and even a potential escalation of tensions are foreseeable.

On the market front, traditional investors show full confidence in the U.S.-Iran situation. Crude oil prices opened sharply lower, U.S. stock index futures opened higher and continued to rise, with the Nasdaq 100 futures up 1%, the S&P 500 futures up 0.65%, and the Dow Jones futures up 0.54%.

In the crypto market, Bitcoin remains relatively weak, consolidating around $77k after returning to that level. Meanwhile, strong coins like HYPE and ZEC took the opportunity over the weekend to undergo a strong shakeout, then resumed their upward trend. As of press time, HYPE is trading at $63.169, up 8.3% over the past 24 hours. ZEC is trading at $666.53, up 3.9% over the past 24 hours.
