Event Cause: On April 19, the U.S. forcibly intercepted an Iranian cargo ship, opened fire to damage the engine room, and detained the crew, actively provoking the incident. On May 4, the U.S. released the crew in an attempt to ease tensions, while Iran responded the same day with missile strikes against the U.S. warship, firmly retaliating against the previous detention provocation. As a result, the confrontation between Iran and the U.S. escalated from economic sanctions to direct military clashes, with geopolitical tensions reaching a peak.

Safe-haven funds subsequently flowed into Bitcoin and Ethereum, providing short-term positive momentum for the crypto market. Whether the subsequent trend can be sustained depends on whether the U.S. takes retaliatory action: if the U.S. further retaliates and the situation worsens, the safe-haven rally is likely to continue; conversely, if both sides exercise restraint and tensions ease, funds will quickly withdraw, and crypto prices may easily fall back. #比特币ETF期权持仓限额增4倍 #WCTC交易王PK #DeFi4月安全事件损失超6亿美元 $BTC $ETH ‌ ‌
