The post Bitcoin Drops Near $62K After U.S.-Iran Airstrikes Reignite Risk-Off Selling appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin News Bitcoin fell about 2.5% on Wednesday as fresh U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets drained risk appetite across global markets. A broad crypto benchmark slid nearly 2.9% since midnight UTC, with almost every major token in the red.

In a post on X, Crypto Rover wrote, “Japanese bonds are going parabolic again. JP10Y just broke to a fresh 30-year high. Japan has over 250% debt-to-GDP and the bond market is now moving against them. If yields keep rising, the Bank of Japan will be
