The prices of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies were mixed early Monday, as digital-asset investors continued to assess the outlook for financial markets amid a spiking oil price and escalating war in Iran.
Bitcoin was trading at $67,140, down 0.2% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. During that period, it hit a high of $68,093. Popular alt-coin XRP also fell, by 1.8%, while Ethereum, the world's second largest cryptocurrency, was up 0.9%.
In the days following the outbreak of war in Iran, cryptocurrencies initially rallied. However, broader risk sentiment started to flag as the prospects of a short conflict waned. Early Monday, S&P 500 futures were down 1.7% while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.9%.
"Crude's sharp weekly advance has pushed inflation expectations higher and led markets to scale back the probability of near-term Federal Reserve easing," said Nexo analyst Iliya Kalchev in a note. Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate oil futures are both trading at over $100 a barrel.
He added that: "Financial conditions are tightening not because policy has shifted, but because risk premiums have expanded."
Cryptocurrencies could be negatively impacted if investors continue to pull back from risk assets.
