Israel-Iran Conflict Triggers Bitcoin Sell-Off
Israel's airstrikes on Iranian military facilities (June 13, 2025) triggered turmoil in global markets. Oil surged, stocks plummeted, and Bitcoin dropped 3% to $103,000 due to panic selling. Investors rushed to safe haven assets like the US dollar and gold.
Over $1 billion in leveraged Bitcoin positions were liquidated in a short period, exacerbating the selling pressure. Nevertheless, analysts predict Bitcoin has the potential to recover as a hedge alternative if the conflict undermines trust in traditional financial systems.
Warning for investors: The market is now super sensitive to geopolitical escalation. High volatility is expected to continue, requiring extra caution.
