The cryptography market became red on Saturday and Sunday when geopolitical tensions increased following President Donald Trump’s order to bomb the Iranian nuclear sites.
The United States has joined Israel to launch strikes on Iran early Sunday, targeting three key nuclear sites in an operation to paralyze Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacities.
Trump declared the mission a success, saying that the facilities were “completely and completely erased”. Iran has promised to defend itself, according to has The New York Times.
At the last verification on Sunday, the Bitcoin price (BTC) fell below $ 103,000, while the best altcoins such as virtual (virtual), Celestia (TIA), AB (AB) and Aptos (APT) protocol plunged more than 9% in recent 24 hours.
The total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies followed by CMC dived 1.65% in the last 24 hours to 3.15 billions of dollars. Likewise, Correglass data show that the sale has triggered a 38% increase in liquidations to more than $ 682 million.
The cryptography market has crashed as geopolitical risks increased
Bitcoin and most Altcoins plunged after the United States launched a major bomb in Iran targeting three nuclear sites. Trump’s goal was to destroy Iran’s nuclear capacities when his exchange of missiles with Israel continues.
These assets have probably dropped for two main reasons. First, they fell as investors adopted a feeling of risk after this attack. Historically, risky assets such as actions and cryptocurrencies withdraw after a major black swan event.
| Cryptocurrency | PRICE | 7 days +/- |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $ 102,666 | -2.4% |
| Ethereum (Eth) | $ 2,273.95 | -9.7% |
| Solara (GROUND) | $ 133.11 | -8.7% |
| Xrp (XRP) | $ 2.03 | -6.1% |
| Mastiff (DOGE) | $ 0.1557 | -10.8% |
| Bnb (BNB) | $ 630 | -2.8% |
For example, actions and crypto dropped in April after Trump launched reprisal rates. They also fell in March 2020 after the start of the cocovated pandemic and in February 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. In a note in Bloomberg, Hanain Malik de Tellimer said::
“In the short term, markets such as crude oil, stocks and crypto will pivot if Iran retaliates and widen war in a manner that has an impact on oil supply compared to the decline and to offer concessions on its nuclear program.”
The crisis in Iran can cause higher inflation
The other main reason why the cryptography market has crashed is that the Middle East crisis could lead to an increase in crude oil and shipping prices. The intermediate oil references of Brent and West Texas have already jumped more than 32% of the bottom of the year, and analysts Anticipate the price increase. Shipping costs have also jumped.
The involvement is that consumer inflation in the United States can continue to increase, which will prevent the federal reserve from reducing interest rates.
At its meeting last week, the bank left interest rates unchanged between 4.25% and 4.50%. He suggested that he would deliver two cups this year and four in 2026 and 2027. Bitcoin and other altcoins succeed when the Fed reduces interest rates.
