Bitcoin remained stable even as broader markets turned defensive after the first U.S. strikes against Iran in weeks. The move pushed oil prices higher and stocks lower, reflecting a wider risk-off tone across traditional markets. Despite that backdrop, bitcoin did not show the same reaction and largely held its ground. According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency is up 24% this month, putting it on pace for its strongest monthly performance since November 2024. The contrast highlights bitcoin’s relative steadiness during a session that saw pressure elsewhere, even as investors responded to geopolitical developments with moves into oil and away from equities.
