📰 What happened?

• On June 13, 2025, Israel conducted large-scale airstrikes on military and nuclear facilities in Iran as part of “Operation Rising Lion”

• This is the first such attack since the start of the war in 2024–2025 — about 200 aircraft struck ~100 targets, hitting the command of Iran.

• The market reaction was telling: oil soared by +8–15 %, gold – by +1–1.3 %, stocks – in the red zone.

How it affected the cryptocurrency market:

🔻 Rapid panic selling

• Bitcoin fell below 103 000 USD.

• The crypto market experienced massive liquidations. According to CoinGlass, positions worth ≈ 1 billion USD were closed (≈ 945 million USD in Bitcoin).

🔍 Conclusions for investors

1. Short-term risk: at the peak moment, crypto lost up to 3–5 %, with prolonged liquidations.

2. Business cycle: this is a logical “risk-off” reaction — investors are shifting funds to safe assets.

3. Promising outlook: if the escalation drags on, volatility will remain high. But historically, the crypto market reacts quickly to the absence of serious incursions.

4. Macroeconomics: rising oil prices/inflation may force the Fed to raise rates, which is not favorable for crypto in the long term. Temporary, but worth considering.
