Expectations of easing geopolitical risks in the Middle East have brought warmth back to the virtual asset market. Buying pressure flowed in, centered on Bitcoin and Ethereum, leading major coins to show a broad upward trend.

As of 5:09 p.m. on the 27th, based on CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin, the No. 1 cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was trading at $65,179.36, up 1.35% from 24 hours earlier. Ethereum, the second-largest by market cap, recorded $1,963.39, up 4.51%, showing the clearest gain among major coins.

Altcoins were also mostly strong. Binance Coin (BNV) rose 0.54% to $574.19, while Ripple (XRP) gained 0.76% to $1.10. Solana climbed 2.21% to $76.46, and Hyperliquid rose 2.32% to $59.96. On the other hand, Dogecoin fell 0.56% to $0.07279, showing a relatively weak trend.

The rally in the virtual asset market is driven by growing expectations of reduced geopolitical uncertainty. As signals of de-escalation become visible, including the United States and Iran temporarily halting mutual military actions, risk appetite is recovering. This trend has also affected international oil prices, with concerns over disruptions to Middle Eastern crude supply easing somewhat, leading to a sharp decline in oil prices.

Market participants project that if the Middle East situation converges toward a diplomatic solution, risk asset investment sentiment could improve further. However, some analysts caution that vigilance is needed regarding potential expansion of volatility, as the possibility of renewed conflict still remains.
