Bitcoin, Ethereum Flat, XRP, Dogecoin Gain Amid Trump's 'Nuclear Dust' Claim, Lebanon Ceasefire: Analyst

Bitcoin held near $74,000 as traders weighed Trump's claim that Iran agreed to give the U.S. "nuclear dust," with stocks also setting records.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump announced that Iran agreed to transfer its 'nuclear dust' to the United States, stating, 'The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear Dust,' created by U.S. airstrikes.
  • The term 'nuclear dust' refers to highly enriched uranium that the International Atomic Energy Agency believed remained buried after U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in June last year.
  • Trump confirmed that no money will exchange hands for the transfer, while the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports remains in effect 'until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.'
  • Iranian officials have not confirmed the agreement, though crude oil dropped over 10%, to just over $81 a barrel, following the Strait of Hormuz reopening Friday morning.
  • The president insists any final deal must ensure Iran commits to not producing nuclear weapons and ceases support for terror proxies, such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.
