The presidents of the United States and Russia recently held a high-level meeting aimed at discussing a ceasefire in Ukraine, but ultimately failed to reach a specific protocol. This is the first time Russian President Putin has set foot on U.S. soil since the United Nations General Assembly in 2014. Although both sides stated that progress was made in certain areas, differences still remain.

Putin described this meeting as a "starting point," emphasizing the deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations and considering this meeting to be the first step towards improving bilateral relations. Meanwhile, the U.S. president also acknowledged some progress but pointed out the persistent differences.

Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed disappointment over Ukraine's lack of representation in the talks. He emphasized that to truly end the conflict, a summit involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia is necessary.

It is worth noting that although this high-level meeting has attracted much attention, the cryptocurrency market remains relatively stable. Bitcoin, which had previously fallen below $117,000, was not affected by the failure of the peace talks, and instead rebounded to nearly $118,000.

Analysis indicates that the recent decline in cryptocurrencies is primarily due to market volatility triggered by PPI data, causing Bitcoin to drop from its historical high of $124,500 to below $118,000 in just a few hours. This suggests that the cryptocurrency market is currently more influenced by macroeconomic data rather than direct impacts from geopolitical events.

As the international situation continues to develop, investors are closely watching the potential impact these events may have on the global financial markets, especially the emerging cryptocurrency market.
