The market experienced panic betting due to geopolitical instability, with analysis indicating a net outflow of $170 million in spot trading of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

JPMorgan: Bitcoin absorbs Iran war hedge funds, gold ETF experiences significant outflows

Gold's high-position holdings were forcibly liquidated under market pressure, leading to capital outflows. Bitcoin remained stable, demonstrating its appeal as a safe-haven asset, especially amid geopolitical tensions. The report also emphasizes that Bitcoin's market liquidity has surpassed gold, indicating an improvement in its structural position.

Why did Bitcoin drop today? Trump extends Iran ceasefire period by 10 days, negotiations face disagreements.

U.S. President Trump extends the ceasefire period with Iran until April 6, but Iranian officials deny the request, leading to continued market pessimism about the prospects of negotiations. As the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield rises to 4.42%, the attractiveness of high-risk assets like Bitcoin diminishes, preventing a rebound and instead continuing to face selling pressure. The market is sensitive to liquidity conditions, and in the short term, attention should be paid to the direction of yields and spot demand.

Homebuyers can collateralize Bitcoin or USDC and retain their crypto assets, but the borrowing costs are higher than traditional methods. As long as payments are made on time, cryptocurrency price fluctuations will not trigger liquidation, providing a new pathway for home purchases.
