The direct cause of the sudden collapse of bitcoin this time may be related to the situation in the Middle East.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Forces fired dozens of missiles and drones at Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories, the Islamic Republic of Iran news agency quoted the statement as saying.

According to CCTV news, on the 14th local time, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued a second statement on its military operation. In response to Israel's crimes, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) used its strategic intelligence capabilities, missiles and drones to attack important military targets on Israeli territory, successfully hitting and destroying them, the statement said.
The Israel Airports Authority said on the night of the 13th local time that due to the Iranian attack, Israel's airspace was closed from 0:30 local time on the 14th. The Israel Airports Authority said it would update as the situation evolved.
In the early morning of the 14th local time, Iran's defense minister said that any country that opens its airspace or territory to Israel to attack Iran will receive a decisive response from Iran.
According to the flight radar map on the 14th local time, at present, the airspace of Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran has been completely closed.
