Strait of Hormuz Reopens as Trump Credits Iran, Mine Removal Planned
Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz is “completely open” for commercial vessels. President Trump responded by thanking Iran and signalling cooperation on mine removal in the Strait.
Crypto-linked prediction markets show a rapid de-escalation. The chance Trump announces a US-Iran ceasefire breach by April 21 fell to 14% (down from 33% a week ago). Traders also increased confidence that the US blockade of the Strait will be lifted by May 31 to 76.5% (with about $5,868/day actual USDC volume).
Market pricing reflects the Strait of Hormuz reopening and a more cooperative tone from Washington. However, Iran has not confirmed any nuclear-program suspension. That gap keeps volatility risk elevated if nuclear terms remain unresolved.
What to watch next is official confirmation from Iran on nuclear concessions, plus follow-up statements from the Trump administration. A firm commitment on nuclear terms could quickly reprice both the ceasefire-breach and blockade-lift contracts.
Trading note: the article’s cited market implies high-risk positioning for a ceasefire breach (a YES share priced around 14¢) versus comparatively stronger conviction around lifting the Strait of Hormuz blockade before summer.

该消息对市场的核心影响是“地缘冲突风险短线回落”：霍尔木兹海峡重新开放、特朗普对伊朗“致谢”并谈到水雷清除，通常会降低航运中断与冲突升级预期，因此有利于风险偏好修复，短期可能对加密市场情绪形成支撑。
但整体仍偏中性，原因在于文章强调“核项目暂停尚未由伊朗确认”。历史上类似的地缘缓和往往会先带来情绪改善，但一旦关键条款（如核/制裁/停火细节）迟迟缺位，市场会迅速重新定价为“脆弱和平”。例如在过去多次美伊或其他中东危机降温阶段，市场常见的路径是：先因停火/开放口径下调风险溢价，再因关键协议缺口触发波动加大。
交易含义：预测市场的概率快速下修（停火被打破从33%降到14%）显示资金短线在押“降级”，并对“解除封锁（5月31日前）”给出更高置信度（76.5%）。但因为核让步缺乏确认，任何后续公告都可能导致剧烈再定价。中长期看，若后续核条款得到明确承诺，风险溢价可能继续下降；若出现相反信号，则可能造成快速的情绪反转与波动回升。
