$BTC ETH Geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict between Israel and Iran, often lead to fluctuations in global financial markets, including cryptocurrencies. When tensions escalate, investors tend to seek "safe havens" like gold, while riskier assets like cryptocurrencies experience downward pressure.
