Iraq thank Iran say dem allow Iraq oil tankers pass through Strait of Hormuz — small de-escalation sign. But traders still dey doubt say e go turn to quick US-Iran ceasefire.
For prediction markets, “US-Iran ceasefire odds” for April 7 na about 1% YES, down from 2% yesterday and far below last week. For April 15 na around 6% YES (down from 8% yesterday). Longer tenors soft too: April 30 ~18% YES, May 31 ~36.5%, and June 30 ~51.5%.

Neutral
Iraq say thank you for Hormuz tanker access na small de-escalation signal, but e no improve near-term “US-Iran ceasefire odds.” Prediction market still dey price very low chance for April 7/15, only longer-dated odds show small rise. For crypto, dis read as mild improvement in headline risk without confirmed pathway to near-term resolution.
Because the article also highlight cautious liquidity and hedging-driven contract spikes (e.g., April 30 move), the likely effect on crypto market stability limited: e fit reduce tail-risk small, but e unlikely to trigger strong directional rally or sell-off without clearer US-Iran announcement or confirmed talks date. For longer term, market go react more if odds for earlier ceasefire windows re-rate upward.
