Bitcoin dips to $59,700 as Iran de-escalation lifts stocks but not crypto
Bitcoin prices dipped to $59,700 as crypto markets failed to react to geopolitical de-escalation between the U.S. and Iran. While traditional stock futures rose on the news, crypto traders remain focused on Federal Reserve policy and macroeconomic indicators.

Ether edged up 0.3% to $1,572, Solana added 1.5%, while XRP and dogecoin continued to slide.
