Bitcoin dropped below $65,000 as rising oil prices, fueled by Red Sea tanker attacks and US threats against Iran, pushed Treasury yields higher and triggered a broader retreat from risk assets, impacting spot demand and ETF flows.
Bitcoin's stabilization near $64,000, aided by ETF inflows, is threatened by rising oil prices due to US-Iran conflict disrupting the Strait of Hormuz, potentially reigniting inflation concerns.
