The cryptocurrency market took a hit on Thursday, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin all experiencing significant losses amid reports of fresh US strikes on Iran.

Reports of the strikes sent shockwaves through global markets, with investors scrambling to reassess their risk exposure. The US dollar surged in response, further exacerbating the decline in cryptocurrency prices.

Cryptocurrency Prices Plummet Amid Global Market Volatility

The drop in cryptocurrency prices was widespread, with $BTC falling by as much as 10% in a single session. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, also plummeted, down 8% from its previous day's close.
