According to Santiment, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has triggered a significant spike in crypto market volatility. Between June 12th and 15th, bearish sentiment dominated the market, directly correlating with a 4–6% drop in Bitcoin (BTC) price and erasing over $200 billion from total crypto market capitalization. Traders should closely monitor geopolitical developments, as continued tensions may sustain elevated volatility and downside risk for major cryptocurrencies. (Source: @santimentfeed, June 18, 2025)
