Bitcoin just took a slight hit, dropping around 2% to hover near $71.6K after fresh comments from J. D. Vance shook investor sentiment.

The update revealed that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have hit a dead end, with no agreement reached on extending the ceasefire. This comes after weeks of heightened tensions and ongoing military pressure, with talks recently held in Islamabad.

📉 The impact wasn’t limited to Bitcoin:

Ethereum (ETH) slipped to around $2,200

XRP dropped to $1.33

The CoinDesk 20 Index also moved lower

💡 What this shows is simple: crypto markets are still highly sensitive to global political developments. When uncertainty rises, risk assets like crypto often feel the pressure first.
