1257 GMT - Last week's selloff in cryptocurrencies likely marks the low in prices for this cycle, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick says in a note. The SpaceX initial public offering could sound the end of crypto exchange traded funds selling, he says. A possible U.S.-Iran-U.S. war deal would also support cryptocurrencies if oil prices fall alongside Treasury yields, he says. Another potential positive catalyst would be bitcoin-hoarding firm Strategy announcing more bitcoin purchases next week, having unveiled renewed purchases on Monday. Strategy last week said it sold bitcoin holdings for the first time since 2022. Bitcoin rises 0.1% to $63,417 after reaching a 20-month low of $59,125 last Friday. Ether falls 0.3% to $1,664 after hitting a 14-month low of $1,506 Saturday.(renae.dyer@wsj.com)
