#CryptoMarket The crypto market turned sharply lower on Friday, with total market capitalization falling nearly 3.8% to around $2.61 trillion as renewed military tensions between the United States and Iran triggered a broad risk-off move across global markets.
☆SUMMARY;
•The crypto market fell nearly 4% on May 8 as renewed U.S.-Iran military tensions triggered a broad risk-off selloff across digital assets.
•Bitcoin slipped below $77,000 while Ethereum dropped over 6%, with more than $344 million in long liquidations accelerating downside pressure.
•Investor sentiment weakened as capital rotated into gold and U.S. equities, with the S&P 500 hitting fresh record highs amid a tech-led rally.
$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) dropped roughly 4.5% over the past 24 hours, slipping below the $77,000 mark before recovering slightly to trade near $77,400 at press time. Ethereum (ETH) fell more than 6% to around $1,980, while major altcoins such as Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP), BNB (BNB), and Dogecoin (DOGE) also recorded notable losses amid accelerating sell pressure.
Among the worst performers were high-beta altcoins and meme tokens, many of which posted double-digit intraday declines as traders rapidly reduced exposure to risk assets.
The latest downturn triggered a large wave of long liquidations across crypto derivatives markets. More than $344 million in bullish positions were wiped out over the past 24 hours as falling prices forced leveraged traders out of their positions, further intensifying downside momentum
Investor sentiment also deteriorated sharply. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell by 9 points to 38, returning to fear territory as geopolitical uncertainty and rising volatility pushed traders toward a more defensive stance.
Crypto prices tanked after tensions in the Middle East escalated again despite earlier ceasefire expectations between Washington and Tehran.
Iran’s military accused U.S. forces of targeting an Iranian oil tanker near coastal waters and another vessel approaching the Strait of Hormuz, while also alleging U.S. air strikes on Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island in southern Iran. Iranian air defenses were reportedly activated over western Tehran as local media described explosions and exchanges of fire near the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command said Iranian forces launched missiles, drones, and fast boats against American naval destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM stated that U.S. forces eliminated inbound threats and struck Iranian military facilities tied to the attacks, including missile launch and surveillance infrastructure.
Despite the escalation, U.S. President Donald Trump insisted that the ceasefire agreement still remains in effect. He has described the strikes on Iranian targets as a “love tap” while warning Tehran that the United States would respond “a lot harder” if tensions continued.
The geopolitical flare-up pushed investors toward traditional safe-haven assets. Gold strengthened further during the session, while oil prices also moved higher on concerns that instability around the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global energy supplies.
At the same time, capital continued rotating into traditional equities. The S&P 500 climbed to fresh record highs above the 7,300 level, supported by a strong technology rally driven by upbeat AI-related earnings from companies such as AMD. The move drew additional capital away from crypto markets as investors favored large-cap equities over speculative digital assets.
Looking ahead, traders are expected to closely monitor further developments surrounding U.S.-Iran negotiations and any potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which remains one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes
Broader market focus also remains on upcoming U.S. macroeconomic data and Federal Reserve expectations, both of which continue to influence risk appetite across crypto and global financial markets.
