Amid Trumpâs statements about the Iran deal and talk of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, bitcoin:native has started to rise again.
And every time this happens, it becomes clear that, despite all the talk of an independent digital financial system, the crypto market remains highly sensitive to geopolitics.
Many people enter the crypto space, viewing it as an alternative to traditional markets. But when global tensions ease, trade routes open up, and risks to the global economy diminish, capital reacts almost instantly.
Bitcoin remains the most striking example of this paradox.
The more the market matures, the more it integrates into the global financial system. And the stronger this integration, the greater the influence of news, politics, and geopolitical decisions.
Crypto may be digital.
It may be decentralized.
But it is still traded by people. And people always react to fear, risk, and uncertainty.
