Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a strong warning that Iran could face significant military action today, raising questions about how the escalating conflict may influence Bitcoin’s price. Tensions remain high after fighting began last Saturday involving Iran on one side and the United States and Israel on the other. Despite Trump’s call for Iran to surrender without conditions, Iranian officials dismissed the demand. Iran’s president described the request as unrealistic, while authorities also issued an uncommon apology to neighboring countries affected by recent missile strikes. Trump responded with renewed threats, saying Iran should expect a powerful response. He suggested…

The cryptocurrency market experienced a volatile but ultimately positive week, with major developments including fresh investment activity around OKX, Kraken securing a Federal Reserve master account, and a $10 million settlement between Justin Sun and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Global attention has also been fixed on escalating tensions in the Middle East. Late last week, the situation intensified dramatically when Israel and the United States launched a coordinated military operation targeting Iran. The offensive began with a series of airstrikes early Saturday. Iran responded quickly, and the conflict has continued to intensify throughout the week. Despite the reported…

Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has directed several KuCoin-linked companies to immediately cease operations, stating the crypto exchange has been offering services without the required authorization while allegedly misrepresenting its regulatory standing. The directive targets four separate entities associated with the KuCoin brand. Authorities also ordered the exchange to halt all marketing, promotion, or solicitation aimed at residents of Dubai. The move comes shortly after Austria’s financial regulator took action against the exchange’s European operations, suggesting growing scrutiny of the platform across multiple jurisdictions. Why this matters Users in Dubai could face potential financial risk if they hold funds…

Growing geopolitical tensions during the first week of March have pushed investors toward safer assets, helping the US dollar gain strength while many global markets struggle. Stocks in several regions and even traditional safe assets like precious metals have experienced downward pressure. Market analysts say that if the current environment continues, it could limit the amount of capital flowing into riskier investments such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) dropped sharply and reached roughly 96 in January 2026,…

A group of cryptocurrency wallets reportedly earned about $1.2 million on the prediction platform Polymarket after wagering that the United States would strike Iran on February 28.

The situation has intensified concerns about possible insider trading on prediction markets, where anonymous accounts and easy access can allow traders with privileged information to profit before events become public. Highly Timed Bets Raise Questions According to analysis by blockchain monitoring firm Bubblemaps, six wallets…

Researchers from Google have identified a sophisticated hacking toolkit capable of secretly breaking into iPhones and stealing cryptocurrency from widely used wallet applications. The toolkit, named Coruna, targets several well-known crypto wallets such as MetaMask, Phantom, and Trust Wallet. Victims do not need to download anything or tap suspicious links; simply opening a compromised or fraudulent website on a vulnerable iPhone can activate the attack. Vulnerable iPhones Devices running iOS 17.2.1 or earlier are exposed to the exploit. Apple fixed the vulnerabilities in iOS 17.3, which was released in January 2024. Once the exploit runs, the toolkit scans a device’s…

A recent U.S. military operation targeting Iran heightened geopolitical uncertainty and rattled investors worldwide. But according to Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, the episode also underscored a structural advantage of cryptocurrency markets: they never close. With major global exchanges shut for the weekend, blockchain-based trading platforms became the only major venues offering real-time price discovery. Closed Exchanges Created a Gap; Crypto Filled It In a client note titled “The Weekend That Changed Finance,” Hougan explained that when President Trump announced the strike early Sunday morning (2:30 a.m. ET), most traditional financial markets were offline.
