Summary

Bitcoin hovered around $64,000 to start the week, lagging a rally in Asian equities despite a friendlier macro backdrop.
Other major cryptocurrencies were mixed, with Solana and tron posting weekly gains while BNB, XRP and dogecoin declined.
Progress toward a 60-day US-Iran peace roadmap lifted Asian stocks and eased oil prices, but bitcoin has yet to reconnect with the broader risk-on mood.
