Ceasefire Agreement Set to Expire Soon, Iran Remains Adamant, Market Concerned about Escalation, Bitcoin Rallies Against the Trend

2026.04.21 07:55:33

April 21st Trump repeatedly stated Wednesday that the ceasefire agreement is set to expire Wednesday night Washington time and is unlikely to be extended. Meanwhile, he noted Vance is traveling to Pakistan later Monday, adding the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until an agreement is signed. Iran held firm during U.S. trading hours, saying its decision not to join negotiations remains unchanged—though media reports indicate the Iranian delegation will arrive Tuesday morning, coinciding with the U.S. delegation’s arrival timing. Driven by Iran’s tough stance, per Bitget data: the S&P 500 fell 0.24% Monday, the Nasdaq dropped 0.26%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat. Crude oil edged higher, with Brent crude up 2.51% to $90.39/bbl. Bitcoin held up relatively well, possibly supported by a sharp increase in Strategy’s holdings. Per HTX data, Bitcoin briefly topped $76,000 this morning and now trades at $75,853.42, up 0.19% over 24 hours. Investors are closely watching whether the U.S.-Iran situation will escalate further. Over the next day or two, the key market focus is the timely arrival of the Iranian delegation in Islamabad and the resumption of talks.

CZ: I thank the FBI, U.S. Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies for their assistance in tracking and freezing Binance’s stolen funds.

CZ stated in a post that U.S. law enforcement agencies provided critical support during the Binance security incident, including tracking and freezing stolen assets. Participating agencies include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), U.S. Secret Service (USSS), and Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), among others. CZ added that a single tweet was insufficient to fully convey his gratitude to law enforcement, noting that some crypto market participants may not realize Bitcoin’s lack of a steeper price drop after the incident is also attributable to these agencies.

Binance has now resumed withdrawals, with the initial batch covering assets including BTC, ETH, BNB, and others.

Binance today resumed Phase 1 withdrawal services from 14:00 to 17:00 UTC (06:00 to 09:00 UTC), with the first batch supporting networks and assets including BTC, ETH, BNB, TRX, SOL, XRP, ZEC, DOGE, TON, POL, AVAX, ARB, BASE, OP, and SUI. Deposit services remain open and were not affected by the incident. The exchange stated that the withdrawal resumption will be phased: specific assets and networks are prioritized based on user demand data from the past week, and will be rolled out gradually after security and stability checks are completed. Other networks and assets will be restored sequentially once ready. Due to high initial traffic, some users may face withdrawal delays or failures and are advised to retry later. Binance has now covered approximately 95% of the affected amount from the recent hack, an increase from the previously announced 90%. The remaining ~5% consists of tokens outside the top 10 assets. Owing to their low market liquidity, Binance is still procuring these via market and over-the-counter (OTC) channels, with more time needed to reach the required size.

Binance: Approximately 95% of the losses from this theft incident have been covered, while the remaining 5% is still being procured.

Binance has released an update on the security incident, stating that it has covered approximately 95% of the affected funds from the theft, an increase from the previously announced 90%. The remaining ~5% consists of tokens outside the top ten assets. Due to low market liquidity, Binance is still procuring these tokens via the open market and over-the-counter (OTC) channels, and more time is needed to reach the required scale. Binance also noted that user balances of BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC have achieved 100% reserve coverage, and users can verify this via the Proof of Reserves (PoR) page. Binance reiterated that it will bear all financial losses resulting from the stolen funds and will not pass the losses on to users. Once the investigation is completed, the platform will also release a post-incident review report to disclose more details.
