Crypto in the Crossfire: Iran-Israel Tensions and Market Jitters
Geopolitical flare-ups don’t just shake borders — they rattle crypto too. The ongoing Iran-Israel conflict has injected a fresh wave of uncertainty into global markets, and crypto isn’t immune. As traditional markets wobble, Bitcoin and Ethereum often act like digital safe havens. But in this case, risk aversion is leading to sudden sell-offs and extreme volatility.
Investors are watching closely — a deeper conflict could push oil prices up, spike inflation fears, and trigger more capital flight into (or out of) crypto assets. Tether’s usage in the Middle East is also under scrutiny, raising concerns about stablecoin sanctions or misuse.
In short, war breeds chaos — and crypto thrives or dives in chaos. One tweet, one missile, and your portfolio feels it. Stay alert, stay diversified.
