Bitcoin opened at $64,487 on Tuesday, 2.7% above Monday's open, before easing back toward $64,080 as the Iran stalemate dragged on with no end date in sight. Since the conflict began in late February, Bitcoin is down 4.4% and Ethereum 5.7%, while gold futures have fallen 14.7% over the same window. That gap complicates the usual framing of gold as the safer haven during geopolitical stress.
