Markets rippled as crypto prices fell amid escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Bitcoin extended its losses on Sunday morning after President Donald Trump said the US would move to impose a naval blockade of the waterway following failed diplomacy with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said negotiations with Iranian officials, led by Vice President JD Vance, ended without an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program, which he described as the “only point that really mattered.” He reiterated that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Altcoins also declined. Ethereum fell below $2,200, while total crypto market capitalization slipped nearly 2%, falling under $2.5 trillion.
