Bitcoin drops below $68,000 amid US-Iran tensions

Reported by AI Image generated by AI

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $68,000 as escalating US-Iran conflicts drive volatility in cryptocurrency markets. The drop follows a US-Israel attack on Iran and recent statements from leaders on both sides, compounded by weak US jobs data. Other major coins like Ethereum and XRP have also declined.

Bitcoin's price fell sharply by more than 5 percent on February 24, 2026, reaching US$62,964.64. The drop was triggered by investors shying away from risky assets amid global geopolitical tensions and import tariff risks. Analysts describe this correction as an overall risk sentiment adjustment, not a crypto-specific issue.

Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone has cautioned that bitcoin's recent slide may indicate broader financial stress and a potential U.S. recession. He predicts the cryptocurrency could drop to $10,000 as the post-2008 'buy the dip' era ends amid high stock valuations and low volatility. Market analyst Jason Fernandes views such a steep decline as a low-probability event requiring a severe credit shock.
