Following the death of Iran's leadership, the sudden escalation in the Middle East has triggered serious geopolitical turmoil, leading to the collapse of the Iranian Rial and raising concerns over a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Although Bitcoin once plummeted to the $65,000 level, the overall macro outlook remains uncertain as investors weigh the $787 million weekly ETF inflows against potential volatility in traditional finance (TradFi) markets after Monday's open.
