On the morning of June 13, 2025, the Middle East once again became the focus of global attention: Israel launched a military strike against Tehran and officially confirmed that this was a preemptive action, while hinting at the possibility of a larger military operation over the weekend. This incident quickly attracted the attention of the international community.

Israel and Iran have long-standing deep divisions over nuclear program issues, with Israel considering Iran's nuclear project to be an "imminent threat." The United States has indicated it will not directly engage in military conflict but will provide defensive support and intelligence assistance; previously, it has withdrawn some personnel stationed in Iraq. This indirect involvement complicates the regional situation further.

This sudden event immediately impacted the global financial markets: international oil prices surged sharply, with WTI crude oil rising by 6% and Brent crude oil increasing by 5%. The digital asset market also faced pressure, with Bitcoin's price dropping by 3%, falling below the $103,000 mark, and Ethereum experiencing an even greater decline of 6.9%.

Amid the spread of panic in the market, investors are rushing to sell off to seek safe assets. The co-founder of Orbit Markets analyzed that this time, digital currencies are showing a synchronized downward trend with other high-risk assets.

It is worth noting that Bitcoin, which was once referred to by the market as "digital gold", has not demonstrated the expected safe-haven function during this geopolitical crisis. Historical data shows that the conflict between Israel and Iran in October 2024 led to a liquidation scale of $500 million in the digital asset market. Currently, Iran has not made an official response to the attack, but its Revolutionary Guard has declared that it is prepared for war. If the conflict escalates further, the digital asset market may face greater volatility, and investors need to remain highly vigilant about subsequent market changes.

As the uncertainty in regional situations increases, market volatility is expected to persist. Investors are advised to closely follow developments, cautiously assess risk exposure, and prepare for adjustments in asset allocation.
