✦AI Summary
Bitcoin prices recovered to nearly $64,000 as market sentiment improved following a brief dip caused by geopolitical tensions. The rally was supported by broader gains in semiconductor stocks and shifts in Japanese financial policy, despite a lack of crypto-specific catalysts.
The largest cryptocurrency rose 3.5% to nearly $64,000 on Friday, recovering the ground it lost when President Trump warned that strikes on Iran could intensify. It traded as low as about $61,850 before buyers returned, and roughly $28 billion changed hands over 24 hours. Bitcoin is up 4.2% on the week, CoinDesk data shows.
