Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire effective October 9, 2025, following mediation efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States. The agreement facilitates the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and aims to halt ongoing hostilities. The ceasefire includes provisions for monitoring compliance and ensuring humanitarian access. In the cryptocurrency markets, the immediate reaction was muted, with Bitcoin and Ethereum showing slight stability in volatility. Analysts note that geopolitical resolutions, such as this ceasefire, have historically led to short-term stabilization in financial markets.
