According to Santiment (@santimentfeed), social media has surged with reports of US airstrikes targeting three major nuclear sites in Iran, with former President Donald Trump claiming the strikes 'obliterated' the facilities and warning of potential future escalations. This development has caused immediate volatility in global financial markets, including a spike in risk aversion within the cryptocurrency space. Traders witnessed a rapid increase in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading volumes as investors sought safe-haven assets and hedges against geopolitical uncertainty. According to on-chain data cited by Santiment, there was a noticeable uptick in stablecoin flows and volatility in major crypto pairs within minutes of the news breaking. Market participants are advised to monitor liquidity and price swings closely, as further escalation could amplify crypto market risk premiums and impact portfolio allocations.
