Crypto Markets Slide as U.S.-Iran War Fears Grow

Crypto markets got slapped down as geopolitical tensions flared—because nothing makes investors flee risk assets like the threat of World War III.

Fear dominates trading

Bitcoin and altcoins bled out in sync with traditional markets after Pentagon officials hinted at potential military escalation. The usual ''digital gold'' narrative collapsed faster than a shitcoin rug pull.

Institutional players hit the brakes

Whale wallets moved stacks to stablecoins—proof that even ''decentralized'' markets still kneel before Uncle Sam''s war machine. Meanwhile, retail traders YOLO''d into leverage positions like this was just another Tuesday dip.

Silver lining for diamond hands?

History shows crypto bounces hardest after geopolitical shocks. But try telling that to the over-leveraged degens currently getting liquidated. Bonus jab: At least the Fed can''t print more Bitcoin... yet.
