BlockBeats News, March 3 — VanEck Chief Executive Officer Jan Van Eck said in an interview with CNBC, “Today’s crypto market is rebounding, but it’s still down more than 50% from the highs of October last year. Regarding Bitcoin, we know two things: it has a limited supply of 21 million coins, and there’s a halving cycle, where every four years Bitcoin miners receive half the block rewards. Bitcoin has an investment cycle: three consecutive years of gains followed by a significant decline in the fourth year. 2026 is exactly this fourth year, so we are in a bear market for cryptocurrencies, more specifically Bitcoin. Therefore, I think there’s no need to overcomplicate things. At the moment, I believe we are building a bottom, which is also a very good sign of recovery.”

After the US and Israel launched the attack, the outflow of assets from Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, surged by approximately 700% within just a few minutes. A Chainalysis report also confirmed that within hours after the attack, the hourly trading volume of crypto assets within Iran rapidly increased.
