Bitcoin Returns to $77,000. Trump’s Latest Statement to ‘Delay Strike on Iran,’ Crypto Market Sees Narrow Rebound

TradingKey - Trump postpones strikes on Iran as Bitcoin halts its decline to rebound to $77,000; focus this week on Warsh's inauguration.

On May 19, signs of a recovery emerged in the cryptocurrency market as Middle East tensions eased. Total market capitalization rose from yesterday's low of $2.53 trillion to $2.56 trillion, a rebound of over 1%. Meanwhile, the decline in major mainstream coins was halted, with some even turning positive; the privacy sector performed best.

In the past 24 hours, the largest privacy coin by market cap—Zcash ( ZEC) surged nearly 8% to break $570; Dash (DASH) and Humanity (H) both rose over 5%, Decred (DCR) gained nearly 3%, and Tezos (XTZ) climbed over 1%.

On May 18 local time, U.S. President Trump signaled a de-escalation, posting on social media that 'at the request of the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, he has ordered that military strikes against Iran will not proceed as originally planned.' Following the news, Bitcoin ( BTC) bottomed out near $76,000 before rebounding slightly to trade at $77,026. However, whether Bitcoin's price will pivot and break through the key support level of $75,000 will depend on the actions of both the U.S. and Iran.
Iran appeared relatively composed regarding the U.S. strike postponement. Rezaei, a military advisor to the Supreme Leader, stated, 'The U.S. set a deadline for military strikes and then canceled it themselves! They are trying to force the Iranian people and government to submit with such false hope!' Furthermore, Iran remains prepared for war at any moment. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei reiterated the opening of new fronts, stating, 'If the state of war continues, Iran will open these new fronts.'

As a result, Futures Netflow dropped 350% to -$164.3 million, reflecting intense sell-side activity. Such massive exits suggest increased deleveraging, signaling market fear as investors anticipate a further downtrend.



Interestingly, with longs facing such high liquidation levels, most traders have largely shifted to shorting the market. In doing so, the altcoin’s Long Short Ratio plunged to a low of $0.96, holding below 1, for seven consecutive days.

The ratio holding below 1 for an extended period suggests that traders are extremely bearish and anticipate further decline

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau reportedly instructed senior State Department officials to approve a visa for former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, enabling him to travel from Hungary to the United States despite ongoing criminal charges in Poland. The case has sparked political debate across Europe and raised questions about U.S. involvement in sensitive international legal matters.Ziobro, a key figure in Poland’s former conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government, is facing 26 charges connected to the alleged misuse of funds intended for crime victims. Polish authorities accuse him of redirecting public money for political purposes, including the controversial purchase of Pegasus spyware allegedly used against opposition figures. Ziobro denies all allegations, arguing that the accusations are politically motivated and part of a campaign led by Poland’s current pro-European Union government.Hungary granted Ziobro asylum earlier this year under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s administration. Polish officials expected that a political transition in Hungary would result in his extradition back to Poland. However, according to sources familiar with the matter, Landau intervened and directed U.S. officials to facilitate a visa before Hungary’s new leadership took office.The Trump administration has frequently voiced support for conservative politicians in Europe, often criticizing what it describes as politically motivated prosecutions or “lawfare.” Sources claim Landau viewed Ziobro as unfairly targeted and reportedly described the matter internally as involving national security concerns, though no public explanation was provided.The development may further complicate relations between Washington and Warsaw. Poland’s government has already requested clarification from both Hungary and the United States re

The Ripple Factor: Why SBI Is Prioritizing XRP Over Ethereum for Japanese ETFsSBI Holdings has filed for Japan’s first spot Ripple XRP ETF, deliberately skipping Ethereum and targeting $32 billion in institutional assets. It is seen as a structural decision that reflects Japan’s regulatory environment and SBI’s decade-long XRP infrastructure investments as much as it does pure market preferenceThe filing reveals two distinct products: a Crypto-Assets ETF tracking Bitcoin and

Japan’s Financial Services Agency has been advancing a framework that would reclassify crypto more explicitly as financial products. A shift that makes regulated ETF wrappers structurally viable for pension funds and insurance capital for the first time ever.

Why Ripple Over Ethereum? The Regulatory and Infrastructure Logic Behind SBI’s Decision
SBI’s choice is not an endorsement of XRP’s technology over Ethereum’s. It is a product of institutional infrastructure and regulatory fit that has been building in Japan for years.

SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture between SBI Holdings and Ripple, has operated in Japan since 2016, giving SBI deep XRP liquidity access, established custody rails, and pre-existing compliance frameworks tied to Ripple’s payment network. Ethereum carries none of that domestic institutional weight in Japan’s specific market structure.

If approved, the XRP-linked ETF would be a first for Japan, giving local investors regulated spot-style exposure without the risk of offshore exchange.

The regulatory clarity developing in major markets has accelerated institutional timelines globally, and Japan is moving on its own terms
