Bitcoin Falls Below $64,000 as US-Iran Deadlock Raises Inflation Concerns
Bitcoin (BTC) prices fell below $64,000 on Tuesday as uncertainty over the US-Iran deadlock and higher oil prices weighed on investor appetite for risk assets.
Weakening institutional demand also contributed to the decline after US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded outflows at the start of the week, with net withdrawals totaling $144.67 million on Monday.
The deadlock between the United States and Iran has increased geopolitical uncertainty, pushing oil prices higher and potentially reviving inflationary pressures.
