🌍 Iran tensions & Bitcoin (BTC)
Geopolitical escalation involving Iran increases global uncertainty — and markets react fast.
• ⚠️ Higher risk = higher volatility in BTC
• 💸 Sanctions push individuals and entities toward crypto as an alternative financial rail
• 🛡️ Bitcoin is seen by some as a hedge against geopolitical and monetary instability
• 🌐 Crypto becomes part of the economic & cyber layer of modern conflicts
📈 Could Iran move toward BTC adoption?
With heavy sanctions limiting access to global banking, Iran has already explored using cryptocurrency — including BTC and stablecoins — to bypass restrictions and facilitate international transactions, and even accepts crypto in some state export deals as a workaround. This dynamic raises the possibility that future policy shifts could see broader official support for Bitcoin or digital assets as part of Iran’s economic strategy. �

📌 Bottom line:
Bitcoin isn’t tied to wars directly, but it often reflects global stress, sanctions pressure, and shifting trust in traditional systems.
