Recent tensions surrounding the US-Israel stance against Iran have begun to affect global markets, particularly cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, which trades 24/7, has already shown signs of a negative reaction, falling by 3.1% to $63,561, a level not seen since early February. The drop comes ahead of the opening of Asian markets on Monday, indicating investor apprehension regarding the ongoing conflict and its implications for market stability.

Additionally, rising oil prices were noted on Friday as investors anticipated military actions following comments from Donald Trump, who hinted that diplomatic avenues with Iran are closing. This speculation about potential conflict has likely led to increased volatility in the stock markets, as evidenced by losses in indices such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones, coinciding with an unexpected spike in producer price indexes.

Iran's significant role as one of the world's major oil producers adds another layer of concern, especially regarding key chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a crucial conduit for oil transportation, linking the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. While Trump has not specified the duration or nature of potential military actions, this uncertainty creates further risk for investors and raises questions about the future trajectory of both the crypto market and traditional energy prices.
