BTC Drops 2.2% Amid Middle East Tensions, $636M Liquidated as Institutional Inflows Persist

Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) experienced a 2.20% decline over the past 24 hours, with the price dropping from 107,618.23 to 105,254.59 on Binance. The primary driver of this price decline was heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, specifically following Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which triggered a sharp sell-off and over $636 million in liquidations. Despite this volatility, institutional investment remains strong, as evidenced by significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and continued corporate adoption. As of June 13, 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $105,254.59 on Binance, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $45.27 billion and a market capitalization near $2.09 trillion. The market remains volatile, but overall sentiment among analysts continues to be bullish for the remainder of the year.
