Well, well, well! The crypto market took a little tumble, losing about $80 billion faster than you can say “Oops, I did it again!” as tensions in the Middle East cranked up the drama. 🎭
It dipped to around $3.44 trillion, with Bitcoin playing the role of a dramatic diva, dropping over $2,000 to a mere $106,500 before saying, “Just kidding!” and bouncing back to $107,000. Talk about a comeback! 💃
What caused this rollercoaster? Oh, just our favorite reality TV star, President Trump, calling for everyone to pack their bags and leave Tehran while missiles were playing tag between Israel and Iran for the fourth day. 🎯
Trump’s G7 Exit: A Dramatic Departure!
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Trump left the G7 meeting early, telling reporters, “I have to be back early for obvious reasons.” Obvious? Like his hair in a windstorm? 🌪️
He took to his social media stage to declare that Iran should’ve signed his “deal” and that everyone should “immediately evacuate Tehran.” Because nothing says diplomacy like a good old-fashioned evacuation order! 🚀

Meanwhile, China and Russia joined the evacuation party, urging their citizens to skedaddle from Tel Aviv as the military action heated up. It’s like a game of musical chairs, but with more missiles! 🎶💣
“American forces are keeping their defensive posture, and that’s not changing,” said White House spokesman Alex Pfeiffer, while also denying rumors of imminent air strikes. Because who doesn’t love a good game of “fake news”? 📰
Odds of the U.S. taking military action against Iran skyrocketed to 67% on the blockchain prediction platform Polymarket. Sounds like a fun bet, right? 🎲

Markets Say “Not Today, WWIII!”
But hold your horses! A crypto market reaction of this size is just another Tuesday in the wild world of digital assets. Are they becoming immune to geopolitical chaos? After all, they tanked twice as hard when the Trump-Elon bromance went belly-up on June 6. 💔
Meanwhile, tech stocks are also holding their ground like a toddler refusing to leave the playground. 🛝
“If there were even a 50% chance of WW3 right now, the S&P 500 wouldn’t be 2% away from a new all-time high,” quipped the Kobeissi Letter. Because who needs a world war when you have stocks? 📈
As of now, Bitcoin is still playing the range game, and Ethereum is bouncing off support at $2,500. So, all things considered, the crypto markets are holding up pretty well. Who knew digital coins could be so resilient? 💪
