Bitcoin\u2019s price tumbled, losing more than 3.5% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The move saw the cryptocurrency decline by over $2,000, resulting in elevated liquidations across derivatives positions, which currently amount to slightly less than $1 billion.<\/p>\n

There are a few reasons for this, so let\u2019s have a look at the most likely ones.<\/p>\n

US Resumes Strikes on Iran<\/h2>\n

As\u00a0CryptoPotato\u00a0<\/em>reported<\/a> earlier today, the US resumed strikes on Iran. To be precise, they targeted an Iranian military site, while the US shot down a total of four Iranian drones, which posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz, according to available coverage.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the matter, an official told Reuters:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese actions were measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That said, there already was a retaliation on behalf of Iran, which struck a US base in Kuwait. The country\u2019s IRGC released a statement, confirming the attack, and saying that \u201caggression will not go unanswered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oil prices surged on the news, rising 5% and putting additional strain on the global economy, which in turn had an immediate impact on Bitcoin\u2019s price. The latter is widely seen as a risk-on asset, meaning that geopolitical uncertainty is much more likely to negatively impact its short-term value.<\/p>\n

$1.3B Block Sale on BlackRock<\/h2>\n

Yesterday, we reported<\/a> that someone offloaded 29 million shares of IBIT (BlackRock\u2019s spot Bitcoin ETF). That position alone was worth a whopping $1.3 billion, officially making it the largest block trade of this kind and marking the largest single-day outflow from BTC ETFs.<\/p>\n

Now that we have more context, it raises the question: did the entity have inside information about what\u2019s to come?<\/p>\n

Speculation aside, spot Bitcoin ETFs have grown to a position of importance and liquidating large portions surely have more than just an immediate impact on the price. They signal confidence (or the lack of) in the asset and a $1.3 billion block sale is surely to raise more than just a few eyebrows.<\/p>\n
