Middle East war escalation drives tensions in crypto market

The crypto companies’ latest acquisition comes amid a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East – a development that is driving investors from risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies to safe-haven investments such as gold. The geopolitical turmoil escalated after a military showdown between Iran and Israel last week as the two countries traded missile fire.

On Sunday, the situation changed after the U.S. got involved and bombed sites suspected of being key to Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. The attack shook global oil markets as well as digital assets, but gold’s price surged.

Trump announced that he had declared a ceasefire intended to bring an end to the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, but both sides continued to exchange fire on Tuesday morning despite public acceptance of the truce.

“I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with powerful strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.”

At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at $105,000, a 3% increase in the last 24 hours, but down roughly 1.7% in the past week. The digital currency plummeted below $100,000 on Sunday, its first time below that threshold since early May. On-chain data also shows that the total cryptocurrency market capitalization plunged 6% to $32 trillion during the past seven days.
