Bitcoin has staged another unsuccessful breakout attempt after yesterday’s impressive surge, as this time it was stopped at $71,000 and slipped by a grand following new reports on the war in the Middle East.

According to a report from the New York Times cited by The Kobeissi Letter, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been “pushing” Trump to continue the war against Iran.

The paper reads that this military campaign presents a “historic opportunity” to remake the region as Iran poses a long-term threat to the Gulf that can only be eliminated by getting rid of the current regime.

The report further stated that Prince bin Salman has urged Trump to send troops to Iran to seize energy infrastructure and force the government out of power.

The timing of this report is quite intriguing, as just yesterday, President Trump said his country reached some sort of a deal with the Iranian authorities to halt any military action against the latter’s power plants for a five-day period.

Although Iran’s officials denied Trump’s claims, more reports emerged in the following hours indicating that both parties have indeed been in talks, perhaps through middlemen.

Separately, another report from earlier today suggested that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are “inching toward” joining the war against Iran as they have been targeted multiple times by their Middle Eastern enemy.

Bitcoin reacted immediately yesterday with a push from $68,000 to almost $72,000 after Trump’s de-escalation message, but dipped below $70,000 minutes ago after the news about Prince bin Salman went live.

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price.

High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
