Crude oil prices moved sharply higher after overnight military strikes in Iran, according to CoinDesk, while U.S. President Donald Trump again declared victory. The developments put Brent and WTI in focus as energy markets respond to the latest geopolitical escalation. CoinDesk’s market coverage also reported that Bitcoin was on course for a gain of about 25% in August, potentially making it the cryptocurrency’s strongest month since November 2024. The report links the oil-market move to the strikes and Trump’s renewed statement, but provides no additional details on the attacks, price levels or broader market reaction. Bitcoin remains the main crypto asset highlighted in the coverage, alongside several other digital assets tracked by the market page.
