Iran-Iraq Tensions Spark Bitcoin Price Drop
Bitcoin's price plummeted over 2% to around $77,161 after Iran launched ballistic missile strikes in response to US military actions near Larak Island.
This escalation of geopolitical tensions triggered a surge in oil prices, with Brent crude climbing above $90 per barrel, and pushed US Treasury yields to multi-year highs.
Despite the dip, investor interest remains strong, as suggested by Bitcoin futures open interest and ETF inflows, indicating that market volatility is not deterring investors from participating in the crypto market.
