Bitcoin Jumps Back Above $67,000 After Sell-Off Sparked by Iran Leadership Strike

On March 1, 2026, Bitcoin rebounded above $67,000 after dropping toward $63,000 following coordinated U.S. and Israeli airstrikes in Iran and the confirmed death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Major altcoins including Ethereum and XRP also recovered, though traders remain focused on whether escalating regional tensions and Iran's retaliatory strikes will unsettle crypto markets again.
