Crypto Market Dips Below US$2.45 Trillion Amid Ceasefire Breakdown

Total crypto market capitalization was at US$2.39 trillion on April 9, after reaching US$2.45 trillion in the previous session. The rally driven by ceasefire news lost momentum as Gulf countries reported attacks on the first day of the conflict halt, and Iran still demands transit rights through the Strait of Hormuz. This uncertainty dampened the risk-on sentiment that had pushed the crypto market higher just a day earlier.

Capital rotation accelerated the decline. Stocks actually gained after the ceasefire news, while cryptocurrencies corrected. This pattern repeated, where both asset classes struggled to rally simultaneously during the Iran conflict.
