Crypto Market Dips Amid Rising Tensions After U.S. Military Action in Iran

Crypto markets saw a sharp decline over the weekend after the US launched its first military intervention in the conflict between Iran and Israel late on Saturday night.

President Trump confirmed that the strikes were aimed at key nuclear facilities in Iran, marking a significant escalation of tensions in the region. In response, digital assets suffered a massive sell-off, with altcoins particularly hard hit.

Ethereum fell by over 5%, dropping below the $2,300 mark for the first time in weeks. Cardano is under pressure, reaching a three-month low after a 7% decline for the day.

Although it remains above $102,500, Bitcoin has also reacted to the situation. Market observers suggest that it could fall below the psychological threshold of $100,000 if tensions continue to escalate.

As Iran has yet to give an official response, traders remain on alert. President Trump warned that any retaliatory actions would be met with further military measures.

Today’s liquidations exceeded $670 million, and the ongoing instability in the region could lead to a broader downtrend.
