The cryptocurrency market is edging higher as geopolitical risk stemming from the Middle East dominates headlines. As of March 1, 2026 at 11:22 PM, CoinMarketCap real-time data shows major assets turning higher across the board. Bitcoin led the way, rising 3.44% to $66,927.80, signaling a cautious recovery in the broader market.
Altcoins showed stronger momentum, with Solana surging 7.20% to $86.25, XRP up 4.71% to $1.39, and DOGE adding 4.19% to $0.09464. Ethereum rose 5.73% to $2,011.68, and Cardano climbed 5.31% to $0.2821; Binance Coin and Bitcoin Cash also ticked higher by 4.13% and 0.35%, respectively.
Still, analysts caution that the rebound may have limited durability as geopolitical tensions—particularly reports of retaliation following targeted strikes—keep market sentiment volatile. Investors are advised to monitor developing news in real time and to prepare for swift shifts in sentiment should the Middle East situation evolve.
