According to analysts, the short-term decline in the cryptocurrency market is mainly driven by investors partially reducing their positions in risk assets amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, as well as profit-taking following previous price increases. Nevertheless, the high level of liquidity in the market indicates that interest in crypto assets continues in the medium term.
