Bitcoin is trading near $65,760, up 1.1% since midnight UTC, as Brent crude futures hit $97.66 per barrel, the highest since mid-May. While the Iran conflict has heightened tensions, the crypto market remains broadly positive, with Ether (ETH) rising 1.6%. Alternative coins like HYPE and FET also surged over 2%. Traditional markets show muted activity, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures marginally higher, and gold holding above $4,000. The Dollar Index has edged lower. Binance retains ~55% of user funds and ~24% of the spot market share, drawing net inflows in early July.
The crypto market's resilience amid rising oil prices and stable traditional markets suggests growing institutional confidence. Binance's net inflows may reflect increased institutional interest in the space.
