Bitcoin falls below $63,000 as markets give Hormuz traffic just 3% chance to normalize by August
Polymarket odds imply only a 3% chance that Hormuz traffic returns to normal by July 31 as crude approaches $80 a barrel.
Happy Monday!
Crypto’s biggest pressure point is execution: moving funds is easy, but proving control, tracing ownership and managing risk across borders remain much harder. That gap is showing up at every level, from a Thai fraud-linked wallet that processed more than $122 million before Interpol closed in to seized coins the DOJ won on paper but failed to secure in practice.
The same fragility is hitting prices and positioning. Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 as Hormuz disruption lifted oil, the dollar and yields, reviving the $60,000 floor debate.
The global crypto market cap is $2.16 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $62.05 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $62,577.50, and BTC market dominance is 58.2%. The price of Ethereum is $1,775.81, and ETH market dominance is 9.9%. The best-performing sector is Gambling, which gained 3%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (28).
