Tensions between the UNITED STATES
and IRAN are heating up again, and markets are watching closely. Right now, a full-scale U.S. attack looks unlikely, mainly because war would spike oil prices, hurt global trade, and create political fallout. History shows the U.S. prefers pressure, sanctions, and limited actions over open war.
But even rumors of conflict are enough to shake financial markets.
For crypto, the impact is usually fast and emotional. In the short term, fear dominates. Traders rush to sell risky assets, causing sudden drops, liquidations, and volatility across Bitcoin and altcoins. Crypto often behaves like a risk asset, not a safe haven, especially during breaking geopolitical news.
If tensions drag on, the story can change. Bitcoin sometimes recovers as investors look for alternatives outside traditional systems, especially if inflation or oil prices rise. But this rebound is never guaranteed.
One mistake many people make is assuming crypto always pumps during war. Reality is messier. First comes panic. Only later does the market decide whether crypto is protection or just another gamble.
