Bitcoin approaches the $73,000 mark.

VTV.vn - Bitcoin surged to nearly $73,000 as the US and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement, triggering a return of funds to riskier assets.

Bitcoin surged to a three-week high after the US and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, triggering a jump in risk assets. The largest cryptocurrency rose as much as 4.9%, to $72,738/BTC, its highest level since March 18, and was trading near $72,000/BTC at 8:25 AM on April 8 in Singapore. Other cryptocurrencies also saw significant gains, with Ether rising 7.4% to $2,273/ETH.

Crude oil prices fell sharply and US stock index futures surged after the US and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, on the condition that the crucial Strait of Hormuz be reopened. Markets had been volatile since the fighting broke out, due to concerns that severe disruptions to oil flows would cause inflation and impact economic growth.

Bitcoin has been relatively stable in recent weeks, with signs that selling pressure from institutions is easing. US-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) attracted $471.3 million in net inflows on April 6th, up from $22.3 million the previous week, a sharp reversal from nearly $300 million in outflows the week before. In March 2026, approximately $1.3 billion in net inflows into ETFs are expected, following four consecutive months of net outflows, beginning in November 2025.
