Iran Will Not Surrender’: Crypto Market Falls Again as US–Iran Tensions Rise
coingape.com2 hours ago

The global crypto market is once again under pressure amid the escalating Middle East tensions. As the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the US intensifies, uncertainty is spreading across risk assets, like Bitcoin.
This current crypto market downturn is mainly driven by the latest remarks from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. He declared that Iran “will not surrender.” This has further heightened geopolitical fears, triggering another major dip in the industry.
Crypto Market Dips as Iran Pledges No Surrender
According to the latest reports, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has clarified the country’s stance in the ongoing US-Iran war. The president stated that the enemies must “take their wish for the unconditional surrender of the Iranian people to their graves.”
This statement has significantly raised fears of a wider conflict. The current situation sparks crypto market uncertainty, forcing traders to stay away from Bitcoin and other high-risk investments.
As a result, the crypto market once again dropped. The global market currently holds a value of $2.33 trillion, which represents a decrease of 3.4% from the previous total. The main cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin ($BTC ), Ethereum ($ETH ), $XRP , and Solana (SOL), reflected this market decline. 
The price of BTC has decreased by almost 5% to its present value of $67,895, while Ethereum trades at $1,981 after a 4.75% drop. XRP is down by 2.67%, trading at $1.36. Meanwhile, the SOL price is at $84.49, with a significant loss of 4.4%.
This crypto market crash is particularly noteworthy as experts projected increased volatility amid the US jobs report release on Friday. While the non-farm payrolls dropped by 92,000, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced increased pressure.
US–Iran Conflict Deepens as War Enters Second Week
Despite the rising tensions between the United States and Iran, there were still expectations that diplomatic talks could help resolve the situation. But the hopes are now fading as both the US and Iran refuse to talk.
Yesterday, the US signaled a tougher stance, stating that any potential agreement with Iran must lead to the country’s “unconditional surrender. He stated,
“There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.”
In response, the Iranian president asserted the country will never surrender to the US and Israel. This indicates that neither country is willing to end the war on its own. This further escalates tensions, putting the crypto market at risk. #AltcoinSeasonTalkTwoYearLow

Nigeria’s External Reserves Hit 13-Year High at $50.45 Billion
7 hours ago
The naira has reached a 13-year high, thanks to the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) currency reforms. Analysts attribute the currency’s rebound largely to deliberate policy actions aimed at improving transparency and efficiency in the FX market.
Nigeria’s foreign reserve position has quietly climbed to a level not seen in over a decade.
According to a March 3 announcement from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the country’s gross external reserves reached $50.45 billion as of February 16, 2026. That is the highest level recorded in 13 years.

For a country that has spent much of the last decade battling currency pressure and foreign exchange shortages, the number carries weight. External reserves act as a financial buffer. They help a country pay for imports, service external debt, and intervene in currency markets when necessary.
Right now, Nigeria’s reserve stock is estimated to cover 9.68 months of imports of goods and services. In practical terms, that means the country could theoretically sustain nearly ten months of import demand even if new foreign inflows slowed.
The improvement is also visible in the net reserve position.
Data from the central bank show that net foreign exchange reserves rose to $34.80 billion by December 2025, compared with $23.11 billion in December 2024. Over the course of 2025 alone, gross reserves increased from $40.19 billion to $45.71 billion before climbing further into 2026.
CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso said the buildup strengthens Nigeria’s ability to meet its external obligations and provides more room to stabilise the foreign exchange market if necessary.
Naira Pressures and Signs of Stabilisation
The reserve increase is happening against the backdrop of major economic reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
One of the most consequential changes was the liberalisation of Nigeria’s exchange rate regime in 2023, which allowed the currency to trade more freely in the market. The shift triggered a sharp depreciation of the naira, as long-standing demand for foreign currency resurfaced once multiple exchange windows were unified.
Despite that structural weakness, recent data suggest a period of temporary stabilisation.

Figures from XE Converter indicate that the naira strengthened modestly over the past year. Between March 2025 and March 2026, the currency moved from roughly ₦1,499.38 per dollar to ₦1,359.34 per dollar.
Inflation has also started to cool.
Nigeria’s consumer price inflation slowed to 15.10% in January 2026, the lowest level since the surge that peaked at 34.19% in June 2024. The earlier spike had been driven by currency depreciation, fuel subsidy removal, and rising food prices.
Governor Cardoso said the current indicators suggest that the monetary and exchange-rate adjustments are beginning to take effect. He added that the central bank will continue to maintain “adequate buffers” in the reserves, support orderly foreign exchange market operations, and focus on broader macroeconomic stability.
For now, the numbers show a rare moment of breathing room for Africa’s largest economy. Whether the trend holds will depend on continued foreign inflows, oil export performance, and the stability of the currency market in the months ahead.

Kim Jong Un Inspects New 5,000-Ton Destroyer, Pledges Rapid Naval Nuclear Expansion
Rabinsan5 hours ago

According to a report by BBC, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un conducted a two-day inspection of the country's newest 5,000-ton destroyer, the Choe Hyon, at the Nampo Shipyard on Tuesday and Wednesday, overseeing sea trials and a successful test launch of sea-to-surface strategic cruise missiles, state media reported Thursday.
According to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim reviewed the vessel's operational capabilities ahead of its formal commissioning, describing it as a "new symbol of sea defense capability" and a major step in enhancing the navy's offensive power.
He praised the ship's performance during the shakedown cruise and missile firings, which he deemed a core element of its combat readiness.
Kim emphasized rapid progress in arming the navy with nuclear weapons, stating that "the arming of the Navy with nuclear weapons is making satisfactory progress" and that forces for underwater and surface attacks would "grow rapidly."
He ordered the construction of two surface warships of this class or higher annually under the new five-year military development plan, with a third Choe Hyon-class destroyer already under construction at the same yard.
The inspection highlights North Korea's push to modernize its navy amid perceived external threats, including ongoing US-South Korea joint exercises set to begin March 9 and regional volatility from the US-Israeli campaign against Iran.
Analysts note Pyongyang is drawing lessons from Iran's naval setbacks, accelerating efforts to integrate nuclear-capable platforms into its surface fleet and submarines.
The Choe Hyon, first unveiled in April 2025 as North Korea's largest warship class, is designed for multipurpose roles, including anti-air, anti-ship, and potentially nuclear strike missions with cruise and ballistic missiles.
Kim has long prioritized nuclear-powered submarines as the next major goal, with reports of ongoing construction.
South Korea's military monitored the activities closely, detecting no immediate provocations beyond the tests. The US and allies condemned the developments as destabilizing, urging restraint amid Pyongyang's expanding arsenal.
The visit coincides with Kim's broader directives to boost missile production and nuclear forces, reinforcing deterrence against what state media calls US-led aggression.
