BTC outperforms US stock futures amid Iran conflict

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around $66,500 on the third day of the conflict in Iran, rebounding more than 5% from a weekend low of $63,000, CoinDesk reported. While the weekend's airstrikes triggered the liquidation of around $300 million in long positions, analysis suggests the scale of forced liquidations was limited. Meanwhile, international oil prices surged to a multi-month high of $82 per barrel, and other safe-haven assets like gold and silver also climbed. In contrast, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures have fallen by more than 1%.
