🔥 The flames of war between Israel and Iran have 'burned' into the cryptocurrency market

📅 On June 13 local time, the Israeli Air Force launched open airstrikes against dozens of nuclear facilities and military targets within Iran, under the codename 'Lion's Strength'. Iran responded defiantly, launching a series of missile and drone attacks against Israel. Since then, Israel and Iran have continuously escalated their strikes against each other, with international involvement. In fact, looking back at the timeline of the Israel-Iran conflict, the United States can be seen as the instigator, choosing to support Israel to curb Iran's development due to deep-seated contradictions over geopolitical issues, ideology, historical grievances, and regional hotspots between the U.S. and Iran.

Geopolitics has always been a core focus of the global financial market, and the impact of the U.S. involvement has been continually amplified. In response to this move by the U.S., Iran proposed closing the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about one-third of global maritime crude oil trade, triggering global panic. Today, international crude oil futures opened up over 5%, and international gold prices briefly surpassed $3,400.

The risk market is not faring well. With heightened risk aversion, the three major U.S. stock index futures opened lower, and the cryptocurrency market suffered a significant blow. Over the past three days, the cryptocurrency market has seen continuous declines, with Bitcoin dropping below the $100,000 mark yesterday, hitting a low of $98,000, and currently reported at $101,961. The altcoin sector has plummeted, with ETH returning above $2,200 and SOL again reaching $130. Coinglass shows that as of 9 AM this morning, approximately $559 million in liquidations occurred across the network in the past 12 hours, with long positions liquidated at $452 million and short positions at $107 million. Among them, Bitcoin liquidations totaled $223 million, while Ethereum liquidations reached $156 million.

On the other hand, the flames of war between Israel and Iran not only ignited risk aversion in the cryptocurrency market but also rapidly spread to the domestic cryptocurrency industry of both sides. On the afternoon of June 18, the mysterious hacker group Gonjeshke Darande claimed to have launched a large-scale attack on the Iranian cryptocurrency trading platform Nobitex, successfully obtaining its source code, internal network data, and customer asset data. As of now, nearly $90 million in cryptocurrency assets have been affected, most of which are stablecoins USDT. #以色列伊朗冲突 #加密市场回调 #币安Alpha上新
