Bitcoin BTC$83,208.93 and Nasdaq have begun the new week on a soft note as President Donald Trump signaled possible new military strikes on Iran before the early November midterm elections.
At 03:30 UTC, bitcoin was down 1.3% at $83,324, with major alternative cryptocurrencies such as ether ETH$2,652.91, XRP (XRP) and solana (SOL) nursing similar losses. Futures tied to Wall Street's tech-heavy Nasdaq index traded 0.7% lower.
Futures linked to WTI crude oil rose nearly 1% to $93.28, alongside similar gains in Brent.
Trump said Sunday he expected the war with Iran to end “very soon”, but did not rule out more military strikes on the country before the midterm elections.
“I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that. I mean, it's possible, but I just don't want to say that,” he said when asked whether military action could resume, according to Fox News.
He added that the U.S. will win the war via both military and economic pressure.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, meanwhile, said that his nation is “fully prepared” for a renewed conflict, warning it could stand even a potential "doomsday war."
