Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices: Retreat After U.S.-Iran Tensions

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) opened at $63,745.37 on Monday, July 13, 2026, down 0.2% from Sunday's opening price. As of 9:30 a.m. ET, the price fell to $62,555.13. Ethereum (ETH-USD) opened at $1,805.49, up 1% from Sunday's opening, but the price dropped to $1,770.99 this morning. Both cryptos started strongly but retreated after weekend U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East. Ethereum hit its highest level in over a month but the impact of new hostilities remains unclear. Bitcoin lost ground each day last week and this morning's opening reversed that trend, though some value was lost after Middle East strikes. Bitcoin is down 45.7% from its one-year high, while Ethereum is 38.6% behind. The crypto market is rapidly evolving, and follow developments on Yahoo Finance and other sources.

The recent volatility in crypto markets highlights the geopolitical risks that can disrupt asset prices. Investors should monitor Middle East tensions closely as they may impact digital asset valuations further.
