As the conflict between Israel and Iran, the Bitcoin (BTC) price remained stable.

A look at previous conflicts show a similar trend, and factors such as adoption and institutional commitment play a key role.

Analysts such as André Dragosch, head of research on the ETP ETP platform, argued that the price of Bitcoins may bear the price of the conflict. While the volatility in the price of BTC is generally during a decline, it is still perceived as a risky resource and will probably be sold quickly when the war breaks out.

Despite this, like Mithil Thacore, co -founder and general director of Bitcoin L2 Protocol Velar, previously said CointeLgraph: “In the long run, geopolitical conflicts increase the perspectives of higher inflation rates around the world because cash.

Looking at earlier events about geopolitical instability, Bitcoin showed extraordinary immunity, but lack of movement does not necessarily mean that bitcoins is a hedge in times of uncertainty.

Here are a few cases in which the price of Bitcoin reacted or did not react to a large -scale armed conflict in the world:

War Israel-Iran (June 13, 2025)

On June 13, Israel hit dozens of goals in Iran in the biggest attack on the country since the Iran-Irak war in the 1980s, both countries, rivals in the Middle East, continue strategic strikes of missiles against each other over the next days.

Despite the fears of wider escalation, including Israel’s calls to involve the United States, markets have largely rejected fears. Bitcoin is no exception.

While the assets recorded a short decrease immediately after the start of bombing, the price has largely recovered. Cryptographic analyst for he said“Bitcoin does not seem concerned about the conflict of Israel and Iran (yet).”

Perhaps the best known Bitcoin bull, Michael Saylor, is also unable. On June 16, his company, strategy, acquired 10001 BTC for $ 1 billion. The purchase took place after the third supplies preferred by Bitcoin, StrD, began to trade at NASDAQ on June 11.

Bombarding of the Israel-Iran embassy (April 1, 2024)

On April 1, 2024, Israel hit the Iranian embassy complex in Damascus in Syria, killing several higher officials. In response, Iran took the Israeli MSC series and began a series of attacks on Israel on April 13.

After both dates, the price of Bitcoin observed a short move down, with BTC to lose over 8% just after retaliation of April 13.

Despite this, when the markets got used to the new norm, similarly Bitcoin, and continued to move up.

Israel-Gaza War (October 7, 2023)

On October 7, 2023, Hamas forces from Gaza hit goals in Israel, killing over 1,000 Israelis and causing the crisis of war and humanitarian, which is still going on.

Israeli markets recorded immediate dramatic losses, while the main producers of weapons, such as Lockheed Martin, saw the spikes at the price of the action.

Bitcoin remained quite unchanged, and 50 days after the initial attacks he acted much above the place where it began.

After the attacks of reporting that Hamas collected money in cryptography, led to renovated connections from regulatory bodies to strictly regulate the space, and the American State Treasury sanctioned the cryptographic operator from Gaza with Gaza with alleged connections with the group.

Blockchain Elliptic’s criminal company said that “there is no evidence” in support of claims for collecting funds in crypto.

Russia for full invasion of Ukraine (February 24, 2022)

At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of war in the Donbass region in Ukraine, Russia initiated an invasion of a full scale in what Moscow calls “a special military operation.”

Global financial markets immediately affected, with the economies closest to Ukraine suffering from the worst. By opposing this trend, the price of Bitcoin increased up and increased by 16% only five days after the invasion.

The exchange in Russia and Ukraine saw how cryptography traded on visual contributions, because people escaping abroad tried to overcome currency control with cryptocurrency.

A week after the beginning of the war, Ukraine received over $ 70 million of cryptocurrency donations, mainly in the ether (ETH).

Bitcoin tanked later the same year, but it was powered by the fall of the Terra Stablecoin ecosystem and other market events, more than concerns about the war in Ukraine.

Bitcoin internal price and conflicts

While Crypto can serve as a component of risk assets in times of conflict in some parts of the world, its price movements seem to ignore internal conflicts except those that affect traditional markets in Europe, the Middle East and North America.

In November 2020, the war broke out in the Tigray region in Ethiopia after years of tension between the left-wing ethnic-nationalist front of the liberation of the people and the federal rule of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

The war, which left hundreds of thousands of dead and millions of internally displaced, was characterized by the Catholic Association of Social Welfare of the Middle East as insufficiently reported. Report from 2024 from geographical called “The war that the world has forgotten.”

The price of Bitcoin did not notice either. The main dominant narrative on the cryptocurrency market was therefore unprecedented bulls waveforms proposed largely by inflationary fears of pandemic and institutional adoption Covid-19 by the block (then Square) and strategy (then microstrategy).

Later the same year, just a few months after the outbreak of the war of Tigray, February 1, 2021, Tatmadaw Myanmar refuted the National League for Democracy in the coup, causing a civil war that continues.

A month later, the Bitcoin price will reach the highest level of USD 69,000.

Bitcoin and the “closeness” of the conflict

The key factor in the discussion on Bitcoin’s reaction to the conflict is the degree at which Bitcoin is accepted – i.e. it has exposure or correlation with traditional markets.

Some economists noticed the impact of the geographical closeness of the conflict. Financial markets in countries closer to the conflict zone will see greater variability and losses.

General cryptographic adoption is the highest in developing countries, and India, Nigeria and Indonesia run a package, according to the global adoption indicator in 2024. This index includes cryptocurrencies and the retail value of Onchain obtained by centralized services as well as the value of cryptocurrencies and retail value onchain received by DEFI protocols.

For comparison, Bitcoin finds an increasingly concentrated property between Western institutions and world governments. From December 2024, 1% Bitcoin was the property of ETFS itself, more than Satoshi Nakamoto.

The largest owners are currently ETF issuers, such as Blackrock, regulated cryptocurrency exchanges such as Kraken and Coinbase, and even the US government.

Bitcoin only recently enjoyed this degree of adoption, and therefore exposure to traditional financial markets and institutional investments.

In 2013, Bitcoin continued, which some consider their first big bull. It started from USD 13, exceeding $ 100 to April and USD 200 to October. At the end of the year, it closed over $ 1,000.

“Crypt winter” began next year, in addition to two armed conflicts: wars in Donbas, including the annexation of Crimea in Russia and the war in Gaza in 2014.

At that time, Crypto was still in a niche industry, and miners could use a graphics card on their Bitcoins gaming computers. Kraken and Coinbase were only three and two years old.

Institutional involvement was non -existent, and many considered cryptography to be “Magic Internet Money”, suitable only to adapt illegal online activities.

While the beginning of both conflicts influenced the stock market markets, both regional and further, there was no discussion in cryptographic media, such as at that time, the influence of wars on the price of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s reaction to war may change

Now, with the increase in institutional adoption, cryptocurrency -friendly American government and international trade conferences in thousands, the price of Bitcoin may have a greater impact on the markets of negative armed conflict.

Almost all of the above conflicts, at which Bitcoin prices have quickly affected, took place before universal institutional adoption. In this change, the narrative around the Bitcoins has changed from risk to risk assets. BTC has a greater correlation with traditional financial markets than before.

Despite this, analysts are carefully optimistic about Bitcoin in the current atmosphere. QCP stated in a note of June 16 that escalation can increase the increase in oil prices, especially the “Iranian Hormuz Strait Blocking”, with potential commitment in the US interfering with global risk assets.
