Bitcoin climbs as oil tops $100, equities drop after Iran strikes
Why it matters
Bitcoin rising while equities fall and oil spikes suggests crypto is trading as a geopolitical hedge rather than a risk proxy, but higher oil feeds inflation and rate-hike risk that pressures all risk assets.
Details
Bitcoin advanced to as high as $79,700 while Brent crude topped $100 and European shares fell, leaving crypto tracking gold rather than equities.
