Bitcoin fell about 1% since midnight to trade below $76,500 on Tuesday. The slide came as U.S. strikes on Iran pushed Brent crude above $93 a barrel and 10-year Treasury yields climbed toward 4.8%. Solana, ether, and XRP led the larger tokens lower on the same geopolitical driver. Traders framed the drop as part of a broad risk-off move tied directly to the Iran strikes and the jump in oil prices, rather than to leverage or speculative positioning.
