Dow Jones03-02 11:04
0304 GMT - Bitcoin rises in the Asian morning session as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East test risk sentiment, analysts say. This marks "the first time since March 2023 we've watched Bitcoin rally into geopolitical stress," BTC Markets' Charlie Sherry says in an email. "That is not typical risk asset behavior, and it tells you something about how the market is positioned," says the head of finance, noting that ETF flows support this view: Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted over US$1 billion of inflows across three sessions. Bitcoin is 0.9% higher at $66,286.09, LSEG data show. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
