- Bitcoin, الإيثيريوم, and XRP face capital outflows amid net withdrawals from exchange-traded funds.

Interest in crypto investment products has remained volatile amid the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, which has entered its second month. U.S. President Donald Trump announced a military victory on Wednesday, despite the war continuing.

Meanwhile, Iran is escalating its attacks, as Gulf countries reported new missile and drone attacks on Thursday. Prices of high-risk assets, including cryptocurrencies and stocks, are falling amid pressured conditions as investors continue to shun risk, while oil prices rise.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price returned above 100 dollars after hitting its intraday low below 93 dollars. Escalation of the war could push oil prices higher, increasing overall macroeconomic uncertainty.

Total inflows amounted to 55.95 billion dollars, while net assets under management were 87.71 billion dollars. If outflows continue, it would indicate weakening sentiment, limiting Bitcoin’s recovery potential.

U.S.-Iran Conflict Escalates: Spot Crude Oil Breaks $140—A Double Test of Inflation and Safe-Haven Demand for the Crypto Industry

On April 3, 2026, the U.S. and Iran carried out bombing attacks on Iran’s critical infrastructure, prompting Iran’s military to respond and attack related facilities, causing global crude oil prices to spike sharply. Rising energy prices intensified countries’ inflation expectations, putting pressure on crypto assets and risk assets, and exposing digital infrastructure to greater vulnerabilities. Mining Bitcoin became more costly, and changes in the market’s demand for safe-haven assets are worth monitoring.
