Bitcoin, XRP, Ethereum Jump. But Cryptos Are Failing to Match Stocks’ Trump Bump.

Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies rose modestly, but lagged a stronger stock-market rally. Bitcoin traded around $68,721, up about 3%, while Ethereum gained roughly 4.2% to $2,140 and XRP climbed about 3.4%. Despite the gains, cryptos underperformed equities—Nasdaq surged about 3.8% on optimism around a potential end to the Iran war—highlighting investor caution about digital assets’ safe-haven role. Bitcoin, which approached $75,000 earlier in the conflict, is now about 8% lower from that peak, reinforcing mixed sentiment among investors.
