The conflict between Iran and Israel is no longer a regional dispute. What is brewing has the ingredients of a proxy war with profound implications not only in the political and military realms but also in the global financial system.
Emerging powers Russia and China are increasingly positioning themselves as indirect but decisive players. Both have signed energy and technology agreements with Iran in the past 24 months — from payment systems to cooperation to avoid the dollar in bilateral exchanges.
Meanwhile, the United States seems to maintain an ambiguous role. The Trump administration has avoided taking a firm stance. Its strategy is perceived from many angles as a 'tactical silence', maintaining diplomacy without deploying direct force... but watching.
🛰️ And what does Trust Social have to do with the crypto ecosystem?
The emergence of the name Trump Media & Technology Group, and its move to structure one of the largest BTC treasuries through a $2.3B fund authorized by the SEC, is not a minor detail.
The president — through Truth Social — positions himself as an alternative actor to the institutional system, promoting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, outside the dollar, in a context of geopolitical uncertainty.
And that resonates strongly:
On Wall Street.
On Binance.
In the silent hallways of the Federal Reserve.
💣 What will happen if the conflict escalates?
BTC and ETH are already showing anticipated speculative movements: slight increases, unusual volumes in the Middle East, and increases in new wallets in conflict regions.
Experts like Lyn Alden and Nic Carter claim that military tensions create spikes in demand for alternative refuge assets, and Bitcoin is now part of that ecosystem.
If China or Russia become more directly involved, or if the US is forced to intervene, we could witness a new wave of capital repatriation to crypto assets to avoid controls and sanctions.
