đ Crypto Markets Under Pressure: What the Middle East Conflict Means for BTC & Co.
The crypto market is starting the new week nervously. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below 100,000 USD over the weekend and is currently priced around 101,200 USD. Ethereum (ETH) is also under pressure, trading at about 2,300 USD.
âĄïž The reason? The geopolitical escalation in the Middle East.
The recent US airstrikes against Iranian targets are escalating the situation and creating uncertainty in the financial markets. Particularly, crypto reacts sensitively to global tensions, as investors often flee to safe assets like US Treasuries or gold during times of crisis.
