The US–Iran standoff isn’t new, but tensions are clearly rising again.
The US is increasing its military presence in the Middle East to pressure Iran, mainly over its nuclear program and regional influence. Iran, on the other side, sees this as a direct threat and has warned it will respond forcefully if attacked.
So why does this matter for markets?
When geopolitical tension rises:
• Investors move away from risk
• Stocks usually feel pressure
• Oil prices tend to rise
• Crypto often becomes more volatile
Despite the “digital gold” narrative, Bitcoin often drops first during global uncertainty as traders reduce exposure and protect capital. BTC tends to fall hard, then stabilize, before deciding the next direction.
Right now, this situation adds background pressure to an already fragile market. It doesn’t automatically cause a crash, but it amplifies fear, especially when combined with macro factors like rates and ETF outflows.
This is a reminder that crypto doesn’t move in isolation, yes global politics can influence.
