Bitcoin experienced significant price swings, briefly peaking at $82,400 before settling below $81,000. This volatility coincided with the CME futures market reopening and heightened geopolitical concerns following comments from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Iran, which boosted the U.S. dollar and oil while suppressing risk assets. Despite the market movement, derivative interest remains steady, and investors are increasingly looking toward AI infrastructure and long-term mining revenue shifts.
