Bitcoin hits $72.5K as US threatens Iran with ‘Economic D-Day’
Bitcoin decoupling from equities during a geopolitical escalation is the notable part here, not the headline number. The implication is that some buyers are treating it as a hedge against state-level economic coercion — a narrative that has circulated for years but rarely shows up in price during an actual standoff. Whether that bid is durable or just momentum riding a thin news cycle is the open question, and the divergence from cooling stocks is the signal worth tracking.
