The cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant turmoil today, with major cryptocurrencies, including BRC-20 tokens, taking a heavy hit. The total BRC-20 market cap has plummeted by 13.96%, now standing at $1.3 billion.

The primary reason behind this sharp decline is the rising geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel. According to a report by the New York Times, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered a direct strike on Israel in retaliation for the loss of Hamas’s leader, Ismail Haniyeh. This escalation has sent shockwaves through the financial markets, contributing to the crypto market’s downturn.
In the last 24 hours, a staggering 103,715 people were liquidated, with a total liquidation amount of $316 million. This wave of liquidations reflects the broader market’s instability and the heightened risk environment affecting investors.
