$BTC

The Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites triggered a drop in Bitcoin, now around $104k, reflecting risk aversion in markets. The Middle East war is pushing investors toward safe-haven assets like gold and the dollar, impacting cryptocurrencies. However, the initial impact does not appear to have caused excessive volatility in BTC in this early phase. Some experts see BTC as a potential long-term hedge against geopolitical instability. Focus remains on oil and the Strait of Hormuz for further developments.
