Bitcoin (BTC) and other major cryptocurrencies edged lower but remained relatively steady on Monday morning in Asia as traders digested a sharp geopolitical shock from the Middle East, while Asian equities fell and oil prices surged after U.S.-Iran war escalated over the weekend.

Bitcoin slipped about 1% over the past 24 hours to trade at $66,772 as of 12:40 a.m. ET Monday, while ether fell 2.2% to $1,971, according to The Block's price page.

The moves followed weekend volatility linked to escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, including reports that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, was killed in a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike. Bitcoin traded in a choppy range of roughly $63,000 to $66,000 over the weekend.

Analysts, however, said crypto's moves were modest compared with traditional markets and past risk-off episodes.

"Over the weekend, crypto sold off on US‑Israel strikes in Iran, with BTC and ETH dipping toward short‑term support as risk assets were unwound," said Dominick John, an analyst of Kronos Research. "Prices quickly bounced back as traders digested evolving developments, highlighting crypto's 24/7 liquidity and resilience while traditional markets were closed and unable to respond."

Meanwhile, Gulf states have warned they could retaliate against Iran following strikes on key sites that killed at least five civilians, AP News reported. U.S. President Donald Trump also vowed that Washington would "avenge" the deaths of American troops in the region, according to his Sunday post on Truth Social.

Crypto markets effectively served as the first venue for investors to de-risk over the weekend, given their continuous trading hours, analysts said. Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx, noted that bitcoin held near the $66,000 level despite a sharper sell-off in Asian equities at Monday's open, suggesting the market was treating the geopolitical shock as a temporary risk premium rather than the start of a sustained downturn.

Asian equities fall, oil climbs

Traditional markets reacted more sharply when they reopened.

Japan's Nikkei 225 at one stage fell more than 2.5% around noon, while the broader Topix dropped nearly 3%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Singapore's Straits Times Index each fell almost 2%, and Taiwan's Taiex slipped roughly 0.9%. South Korean markets were closed for a public holiday.

Oil prices jumped in early Asian trading, with Brent crude stood at around $78 per barrel at the time of writing, a gain of more than 7% over the past day. Meanwhile, gold rose 1.9% to $5,381 an ounce.

Analysts noted that oil remains the main transmission channel from geopolitical shocks into crypto and other risk assets.

"If crude pushes and holds above $90, inflation expectations rise, real yields firm and the USD strengthens. This tightens liquidity, and it can be expected that crypto trades like a high-beta macro asset in that regime," said Rick Maeda, research associate at Presto Research.

Jeff Mei, COO of crypto exchange BTSE, said markets are particularly sensitive to any threat to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of global oil flows. At least three ships were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, BBC reported. Fears of disruption there have already lifted shipping insurance costs and rerouted vessels, amplifying inflation concerns that could affect central bank rate cut decisions, said Mei.

Resilience

Despite the geopolitical shock, on-chain and derivatives indicators showed relatively little systemic stress in crypto markets. Maeda of Presto noted there was no visible stablecoin stress or major liquidation cascades.

Maeda pointed to Hyperliquid, a perpetual futures exchange, where oil-linked and metals contracts moved sharply, enabling continuous price discovery through the weekend turmoil. "Its possible that this round-the-clock derivatives market helped absorb the macro shock in real time," he said.

For now, analysts said crypto appears to be trading with macro risk sentiment but has remained relatively steady compared with traditional assets. The trajectory would hinge largely on the similar variables facing global equities: oil, inflation expectations and the path of the U.S.-Iran conflict.

John of Kronos said traders are closely monitoring oil markets, inflation data, risk-sentiment ETF flows, and any signs of de-escalation. "Crypto's performance will likely track broader macro developments, with volatility remaining elevated until a clearer path forward emerges," he said.

"Traders are focused on whether this stays a headline-driven spike or turns into a sustained tightening of financial conditions," Maeda said. "In regards to asset prices, this means watching oil first, and whether it stabilizes or pushes into a structurally higher range. In parallel, they are tracking U.S. real yields and the dollar for signs that the shock is feeding into broader macro repricing."
