The crypto market holds up in March 2026, despite the geopolitical tensions between the USA and Iran.

In March 2026, Binance Research analysis shows that the total value of the crypto market increased by 1.8%, even in the context of geopolitical tensions between the USA and Iran, which affected global oil trade. Bitcoin rose by 1%, while Ethereum increased by 6% in the first 32 days since the start of the conflict, while traditional markets suffered significant losses.

Long-term Bitcoin holders have started to accumulate again, supported by large inflows through ETFs and companies holding Bitcoin in treasury. March marked the first month with positive net inflows in Bitcoin spot ETFs, amounting to $1.2 billion, suggesting a market reset and preparation for a new accumulation cycle.

The value of tokenized real assets increased by 4%, reaching $27.1 billion. This resilience of the crypto market is highlighted by institutional accumulation and rapid innovations in the field.
