Santiment: US Airstrikes on Iranian Nuclear Facilities Signal Escalation, Bitcoin Price Stability May Be Due to Weekend Nighttime in the US

Cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment reported that today, the US military carried out airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, marking a significant escalation in the more than week-long conflict between Israel and Iran. Domestically in the US, New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for impeachment proceedings against Trump, while supporters argue that the action is crucial to curbing Iran's nuclear capabilities. Global leaders and analysts have warned that Iran may retaliate through cyberattacks, proxy militant assaults, or by disrupting oil transportation routes. Currently, there are about 40,000 US troops stationed in the region, and with Trump himself threatening to use "even greater force" in response to any retaliation, the situation could further deteriorate. The cryptocurrency market reacted swiftly. According to Santiment's social metrics monitoring, mentions of the keyword "Iran" surged immediately after the news broke. Bitcoin's price remained unexpectedly stable, possibly because the event occurred during the weekend night (US time). Such geopolitical crises typically trigger market volatility as investors assess the risk of an expanding conflict.
