Solana drops 3% as US-Iran tensions shake crypto markets, Bitcoin holds near $77,500.

Cryptocurrency markets fell amid rising US-Iran tensions, with Solana and Tron dropping over 3%, while Bitcoin showed resilience, declining only about 1% near $77,500. The broader sell-off was driven by global macroeconomic concerns, including rising oil prices and higher US Treasury yields, rather than crypto-specific issues. Investors now await the US August jobs report and the Federal Reserve's September rate decision, which could further impact crypto prices.
