$110K Spring Airdrop Rain—18 Days Straight!

The move kept traders focused on the conflict, oil prices, and the Strait of Hormuz. Trump called the Iranian counterproposal “TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE” after Tehran pushed for compensation, sanctions relief, an end to the blockade, and recognition of its control over the strait.

Bitcoin ($BTC) first fell from $81,430 to $80,520 within 45 minutes of Trump’s post, then climbed to $82,347 less than three hours later, according to crypto.news data. The rebound wiped out nearly $410 million over 24 hours, based on Coinglass data.

The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the market reaction. Reuters reported that the waterway carried one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas flows before the war began on February 28.

Oil prices jumped more than $4 a barrel after Trump rejected Iran’s proposal, showing that energy markets are still reacting quickly to each new statement from Washington or Tehran.

The dollar also gained for a second day in Asian trading as strong U.S. jobs data and safe-haven demand supported the currency. Brent crude rose 4.5% to $105.85 a barrel after the rejection. That mix of higher oil, a stronger dollar, and war uncertainty left Bitcoin trading in a tight but volatile range.

Recent crypto.news coverage had already linked Bitcoin’s $80,000 test to Iran headlines. On May 1, crypto.news reported that $BTC rose toward $78,700 after Iran sent a revised peace proposal through Pakistani mediators, easing some oil pressure and improving risk sentiment. The report cited 21Shares chief market strategist Adrian Fritz, who said $80,000 was “quite a resistance” and that a move above $85,000 could show early signs of a broader reversal.

Crypto.news also reported on May 4 that Bitcoin climbed to $80,529 after Trump announced “Project Freedom,” an effort linked to cargo ships affected by the Strait of Hormuz closure.

‘No longer a market outlier’ – How Bitcoin’s volatility has changed the game 
Bitcoin’s price has fluctuated wildly since 2022.

In 2022, the cryptocurrency market experienced “crypto winter,” falling from a $1.2 trillion market cap to $319 billion. The crypto market was under a lot of strain due to events like the Terra/Luna collapse, the aggressive Fed rate hikes, and the FTX bankruptcy.

However, by 2024, the market capitalization had returned close to $2 trillion.

Thanks to the introduction of the Spot Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum exchange-traded funds, in 2024, the crypto market was able to pull back.
Now, in early 2026, the Middle East tensions had put further strain on the crypto market. Yet amidst such events, Bitcoin volatility stood strong, “keeping volatility broadly in line with major tech stocks.” 

Ecoinometrics noted,

Since late 2022, Bitcoin has even traded with lower volatility than Nvidia at times.

They put it aptly when they said, 

Bitcoin is no longer behaving like a market outlier.

 it was rolling out E*Trade, charging a mere 50 basis points undercutting established rivals Coinbase, Robinhood and Schwab, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said “crypto exchanges should be scared.”

Others were less blunt, saying the Wall Street giant’s “isn’t entering crypto to complement Coinbase—it’s entering to replace it…”

The battle for cheap crypto trading resembles the trading fee race when spot ETFs launched in 2024, which saw providers begin high, offering 50 basis points before Morgan Stanley undercut them all with a 14 basis point offering.

In the long run, this means that trading crypto will be cheaper, where the clear winners will be retail traders, while crypto exchanges see their margins significantly trimmed, potentially affecting the likes of Coinbase, who recently cited financial issues as a reason for to reduce its workforce by 14%.

When announcing E*Trade, Jed Finn, Morgan Stanley’s head of wealth management, suggested the move was more about dominance than control. “This is much bigger than trading crypto at a cheaper rate.

“In a way, the strategy is disintermediating the disintermediators.” He added: “It’s going to be very competitive in the next couple of years,” explaining the move is aimed at ensuring its 8.6 million clients remain within its banking system instead of resorting to other platforms as the demand for crypto increases.

In his X post last week, Balchunas echoed Finn’s sentiment, framing the Wall Street giant’s move as a “SHOTS FIRED” moment. “Morgan Stanley is rolling out crypto trading on its E*Trade platform for 50bps per trade, undercutting Schwab's 75bps (who undercut Coinbase).”

He said that based on his knowledge of how Schwab works, it will “likely won't let this stand. Others will probably undercut too.” He also said that “by the time the dust settles it'll be pretty dirt cheap to trade crypto everywhere.” Before concluding by saying “this is why (traditio
