Bitcoin tumbles, crypto momentum fades as Trump extends Iran timeline

Let's get a quick check on crypto brought to you by the National Cryptocurrency Association.

Taking a look at crypto, we are seeing a bit of a sell-off just a tad down 3% when it comes to Bitcoin. Ethereum seeing a similar slowdown there down about 3.6%. As investors seem to be taking this risk-off approach following President Trump's commentary that this war in Iran could persist and that if it does, that there could be attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure.

As you saw here, over the past day, we did see a bit of momentum within Ethereum, particularly, same thing when it comes to Bitcoin over these past uh, you know, 24 hours as well. And now this morning, we're seeing a bit of a decline as investors maybe pull out of this market or rather when it comes to cryptocurrency.

And that's certainly extending across the board across cryptocurrency here with Solana seeing a bigger sell-off, down nearly 6% as we make our way into today's trading day. Also that's extending within crypto stocks like Robinhood as well as Coinbase. Circle seeing one of the larger sell-offs or declines, down about 5.6% as we make your way into today's trading day.

A bit of a red across the screen here, but if you take a look over the past four days where we have been so far this week, we saw these crypto stocks seeing some momentum as this risk or rather this war seemed like it was coming closer to an end. You saw investors move in. Now today we're seeing a bit of a pullback.
