#IsraelIranConflict The impact of the conflict between Israel and Iran on the cryptocurrency market is complex:
1. **Demand for protection**: part of the capital may shift into Bitcoin ("digital gold"), which will temporarily raise the price, but the duration of this process is questionable.
2. **Risky interaction**: if the conflict escalates and causes a global sell-off of risk assets, the crypto world will suffer from reduced liquidity, especially altcoins.
3. **Investments in the Middle East**: investors from the Middle East may transfer their assets through cryptocurrencies, increasing volatility in the local market.
4. **Disruptions in energy**: Bitcoin mining in Iran accounts for 7% of global computing power, and if struck, this could temporarily affect the network's computing power.
**Key conflict**: traditional protective properties and characteristics of high-risk assets exist simultaneously, volatility (VIX indicator) will significantly increase.
