Bitcoin rose modestly on Tuesday, even as broader cryptocurrency markets showed mixed performance amid continued conflict between Israel and Iran.
Both equities and digital assets had dropped sharply on Friday following renewed Israeli strikes, but sentiment began to recover by Monday.
By early Tuesday, however, momentum had cooled. US index futures slipped, and crypto prices reflected a mixed trend over the past 24 hours.
Digital assets, which often mirror the risk appetite seen in high-growth tech stocks, tend to rally on improving sentiment but reverse quickly under geopolitical or macroeconomic strain.
While initial sell-offs are common following geopolitical shocks, markets typically stabilise as investors assess the broader implications and potential for escalation.
Against this backdrop, early-stage project Bitcoin Pepe has continued to draw strong inflows.
Since launching its presale in February, the meme-themed Layer 2 token has maintained steady investor interest, distinguishing itself in an increasingly crowded segment.
The Israel-Iran conflict
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday rejected claims that he was mediating a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, stating that his early departure from the G7 summit was driven by “much bigger” concerns.
The clarification came hours after Trump issued a stark warning to Iranian civilians, urging them to “immediately evacuate Tehran,” amid rising tensions in the region.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East dominated the G7 agenda, prompting a unified statement from leaders of the group.
In a joint communique, they reaffirmed support for Israel and described Iran as the “principal source of regional instability and terror.”
The G7 also reiterated its position that Iran must never be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
“We affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel,” the statement read.
Trump’s remarks followed comments from French President Emmanuel Macron, who on Monday suggested the US president had offered to broker a ceasefire between Tel Aviv and Tehran.
Trump dismissed the claim on his social media platform Truth Social, writing: “He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that.”
Bitcoin Pepe’s strong momentum
Even amid market volatility, Bitcoin’s performance and resilience have buoyed sentiment across the broader crypto ecosystem.
In this risk-tolerant environment, investors chasing outsized returns are rotating back into speculative assets—meme coins among the first to benefit.
One project gaining notable traction is Bitcoin Pepe, which aims to blend meme culture with a credible Layer 2 blockchain proposition.
Billed as one of 2025’s most closely watched crypto presales, Bitcoin Pepe has distinguished itself with an ambition to “build Solana on Bitcoin”—a vision that seeks to combine Bitcoin’s security with Solana-style scalability.
Unlike most meme tokens that rely solely on hype, Bitcoin Pepe is backed by a technical roadmap and infrastructure narrative.
Bitcoin Pepe’s PEP-20 token standard allows permissionless minting and trading on Bitcoin.
The L2’s Bitcoin bridge allows capital to move into areas like meme coin trading, offering additional functionality for Bitcoin beyond its traditional role as a store of value.
The project has raised more than $14.6 million ahead of a planned listing announcement today, underscoring strong investor appetite.
With speculative capital continuing to flow into early-stage plays, Bitcoin Pepe is positioning itself to capitalise on this momentum as its presale draws to a close.
