Bitcoin holds near $64,000 as US-Iran talks progress but crypto sits out the rally
Bitcoin prices remain stagnant near $64,000 despite positive geopolitical developments regarding US-Iran peace talks. While traditional markets show optimism, cryptocurrency assets have failed to mirror the broader risk-on sentiment.
