WTI Crude Futures Jump 2.7% After Trump Iran Threat, Bitcoin Taps $69K
Key Takeaways: Brent crude tracked WTI higher. The XYZ:BRENTOIL perpetual on Hyperliquid was trading near $109.85 to $110.31, with 24-hour volume of $47 million to $60 million and open interest near $557 million. Alongside this, the total digital asset market cap climbed to $2.35 trillion, up 1.13% on the session, as traders rotated into decentralized assets during a weekend when traditional markets had no avenue to respond. As of 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, bitcoin traded at $69,009, up 2.11% on the day and 4.06% over the past week, holding firm as the dominant store-of-value play while Wall Street futures drifted red. Ethereum rose 2.95% to $2,118, posting a 6.26% weekly gain that outpaced bitcoin’s move. XRP added 2.21% to $1.32, and BNB gained 1.79% to $602. Overnight developments, including any further statements from the White House or Iranian government, will likely set the tone for Monday’s open across energy, equity, and DeFi markets. Traders watching WTI will need to account for both the CME session and Hyperliquid’s continuous onchain order book.About Author
