On Saturday, the cryptocurrency market suffered and experienced a sudden downturn, with Bitcoin plummeting by 7% in less than an hour. This downwards market sentiment comes after news of increased geopolitical tensions between middle eastern countries. In the meantime, BlockDAG Network is opening up even further to transparency and releasing even more information regarding its roadmap and technology. Coupled with its upward momentum, the project has been trending on all social media platforms and has become a global phenomenon.

Bitcoin and global tensions

Iran launched an attack on Israel on Saturday; This geopolitical tension triggered concerns about potential impacts on global markets, as evidenced by the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping by 475 points on Friday amid preparations for a potential conflict. Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, highlighted the potential economic consequences of heightened geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding oil and gas prices.

Amidst the escalating Middle East tensions, Bitcoin's price saw significant fluctuations, dropping around 8% late Saturday evening before rebounding above $64,000 by Sunday morning and sitting on $62,000 on Tuesday. Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies also witnessed heavy selling, reflecting the market's sensitivity to geopolitical events.

The direct attack on Israel from Iranian territory marked a significant escalation in tensions, prompting concerns about further market volatility. However, despite the sell-off, Bitcoin had recently reached new records, fueled by inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Interestingly too, speculative traders remained optimistic about Bitcoin (and the Altcoin markets), as indicated by the Longs/Shorts Ratio, suggesting hope for a potential rebound in the very near future, possibly over the halving event scheduled for this week.

BlockDAG network’s next move – The new keynote video

Despite current market movements, BlockDAG Network remains a global phenomenon, attracting attention and interest from users and investors worldwide.
