The rapid escalation in geopolitical tensions triggered immediate volatility in crypto markets, which remain open over the weekend while traditional financial markets are closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within minutes of the news, Bitcoin fell from around 66,000 dollars to approximately 63,600 before stabilizing near 64,000. The asset has now declined by more than 4,000 dollars since being rejected at 68,000 the previous day. Earlier in the week, Bitcoin briefly touched 70,000 after rebounding from a recent low near 62,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altcoins mirrored the turbulence, with many posting losses of 2 percent or more in a short span. Liquidations surged as a result, reaching about 450 million dollars over the past 24 hours, including roughly 185 million dollars wiped out within a single hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sharp reaction underscores how sensitive crypto markets remain to sudden geopolitical developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin dropped sharply below 64,000 dollars on Saturday after reports emerged that Israel carried out what officials described as a preemptive strike against Iran.
