Bitcoin strengthened after the United States and Iran reached an initial agreement to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Based on CoinMarketCap data on Monday (15/6/2026), Bitcoin traded in the US$63,900-65,900 range, up about 2 percent in 24 hours and nearly 8 percent above last week’s low, which fell below US$60,900.
