US forces launched strikes on Iranian military targets in early May following drone and missile attacks on US Navy ships near the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation disrupted a recent ceasefire and caused global market instability, pushing Bitcoin below $80,000 and triggering $300 million in crypto liquidations. Iran has been using cryptocurrency to collect transit fees in the Strait, circumventing sanctions, leading to US sanctions on Iran-linked crypto wallets. Increased regulatory scrutiny on crypto exchanges could raise compliance costs, impacting smaller platforms and DeFi protocols.
