Bitcoin dropped to around $63,000 after reports of an Israeli strike on Iran escalated geopolitical tensions and rattled global markets. The sudden risk-off reaction triggered over $100 million in leveraged long liquidations within minutes, amplifying the downside move. Crypto markets saw a sharp spike in volatility as traders reduced exposure, with derivatives funding rates flipping and open interest declining. The move highlights Bitcoin’s sensitivity to geopolitical risk, with volatility rising sharply during unexpected global events.
