$USDC WAR EFFECT ON CRYPTO

1. Market Uncertainty & Risk Aversion

War breeds financial instability. Investors typically become risk-averse during geopolitical crises.

Flight to safety: Traditional assets like gold, the US dollar, and US Treasury bonds often rise. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, depending on sentiment, may either act as a safe haven or risk asset:

Safe haven behavior: If people see Bitcoin as "digital gold", demand could increase (like during inflation or banking crises).

Risk asset behavior: If crypto is seen as speculative, it may crash along with equities, especially in short term.
