Middle East tensions could lift bitcoin to $250,000, forecast says
Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are sending shock waves through global financial markets and renewing interest in safe havens and alternative stores of value, putting bitcoin in focus. Cryptopolitan reported bitcoin is down 3.2 percent over 24 hours to $70,604.01, with a market value of $1.41 trillion. It said short-position liquidations above $73,000 could fuel further gains, while utility-based token Remittix draws attention.
