What caused Bitcoin's jump to $71,600?

Ceasefire between U.S. and Iran reopened Strait of Hormuz, crashed oil 16% to $95, eased inflation fears and boosted risk appetite.

Is Morgan Stanley Bitcoin ETF launching soon?

Yes, MSBT expected NYSE Arca debut April 8, potentially driving institutional inflows and stabilizing dips.

Will oil prices keep Bitcoin down?

Possibly—oil's still $30 above pre-conflict levels; full normalization needed for sustained crypto rally.
