Bitcoin or gold: which safe-haven leads amid Iran war?
Until the outbreak of the Iran war, bitcoin moved sideways with no clear direction, while gold notched record highs and cemented its role as a safe haven. After the United States and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, the trends diverged. Bitcoin rebounded to around $70,000 after a sharp drop, while gold fell 11 percent amid rising oil prices and inflation worries, posting its biggest weekly decline since 1983. Analysts remain cautious about bitcoin’s safe-haven status.
