#以色列伊朗冲突 Beyond the flames of war, why does the cryptocurrency market always react first?

Whenever geopolitical tensions rise, the cryptocurrency market often becomes one of the earliest responding markets. Recently, news of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities emerged, causing BTC to plummet instantly and ETH to experience continuous fluctuations. The reasons lie not only in panic but also in the characteristics of blockchain assets: "high liquidity + low regulation," making it a battleground for both hedging and profit-making operations.

Historical data shows that market fluctuations during the early stages of war are mostly short-lived, and once the situation becomes clearer, funds will quickly reallocate. The 2020 US-Iran conflict and the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war both triggered short-term crashes, but they also provided excellent opportunities for major players to buy at the bottom.

Therefore, in times of panic, the smart move is not to flee but to observe the flow of funds and on-chain data. For example: a large influx of USDT into exchanges or significant whale sell-off behaviors are the true indicators.

Although the cryptocurrency market is far from the battlefield, it cannot escape human nature. If you can understand the market's "fear and greed," then every conflict could also be a starting point for positioning.
