Bitcoin rebounds toward $68,000 after Trump Iran remarks; ETF outflows hit $296M
Bitcoin started Monday around $66,000 after a thin-liquidity weekend dip toward $64,000, then climbed nearly 2% to trade near $68,000 following President Donald Trump’s comments about “serious discussions” with what he called a new Iranian regime. Spot Bitcoin ETFs logged $296 million in net outflows from March 23–28, while Ethereum ETFs saw $206.58 million outflows over the same window. Analysts said geopolitical uncertainty and a busy U.S. data calendar are keeping risk appetite restrained and pushing investors toward yield and defensive positioning.
