iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF is trading 3.4% down today as Bitcoin fell below $73,000 following fresh U.S.–Iran military escalation over the weekend that reignited geopolitical risk.

  • The escalation triggered a broad crypto selloff and pushed investors toward safe-haven assets like gold-backed tokens, while Ethereum broke through key support levels.
  • Downside pressure was amplified by fragile risk sentiment following late-May spot Bitcoin ETF outflows, which included large redemptions from the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.
