Bitcoin, ETH, SOL, and ADA all fell to $68,507 on Friday, down 3.2% over the past 24 hours and 2.7% on the week. This follows a pattern of deescalating headlines followed by an escalation announcement. The broader crypto market shed nearly 1% to a total cap of $2.4 trillion. However, news of the Pentagon's potential deployment of up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East also negatively impacted the market. The extension of the Iran deadline pushed the next binary event to early April.
