Crypto slides as Iran conflict shakes risk appetite (BTC-USD:Cryptocurrency)

Bitcoin fell more than 3% to around $68,000, its lowest level since early March, with steeper losses across other tokens including Ether, as escalating U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions rattled markets. The move signals a risk-off shift and likely higher near-term volatility and correlation between crypto prices and geopolitical risk. Monitor positioning, leverage and potential liquidations in crypto futures as contributors to further downside.
