Bitcoin Unfazed by Trump\u2019s Iran Threats<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin on Monday shrugged off tensions in the Middle East, barely moving despite U.S. President Donald Trump vowing to hit Iran hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The price of the biggest cryptocurrency<\/a> recently stood at $79,076, unmoved over a 24-hour period. The coin also hasn\u2019t budged from where it stood seven days ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Geopolitical strife has this year hurt Bitcoin\u2019s price, with the cryptocurrency typically facing<\/a> downward pressure on news of war and rallied in hopes of a ceasefire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When the U.S. and Israel first attacked Iran in February, the coin nosedived, and had been shaky on news of war in March and April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But in recent months, Bitcoin\u2019s volatility has been muted, according to analysts, and Monday was no different: President Trump promised to hit Iran again but the asset didn\u2019t flinch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to hit them hard,\u201d President Trump was quoted<\/a> telling a Fox News reporter on Monday.\u00a0The U.S. and Iran started strikes again on Sunday \u2014 the first in over one month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin started a phenomenal run two weeks ago \u2014 its best in three years \u2014 and is up nearly 30% over the past month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its price started surging after the U.S. Treasury would at least double the size of its liquidity-support buyback operations. The announcement hurt the dollar but non-yielding assets like bitcoin and gold have benefited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Positive regulatory news has also helped bitcoin this month: President Donald Trump last week said<\/a> that the long-awaited crypto Clarity Act<\/a> was a \u201cvery, very powerful\u201d piece of legislation, and urged lawmakers to get it over the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Clarity Act aims to establish a framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities or payment stablecoins \u2014 legislation that the crypto industry has long called for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investors have piled back into exchange-traded funds this month, too, which has also helped bitcoin\u2019s price. From August 17 to 27, investors threw over $2.8 billion at the vehicles \u2014 the most since October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin reached as high as $81,281 last week before sliding again on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
