⚖️ [Opini Market] Political Tension: Threat or Opportunity for Crypto($BTC , $BNB ,$ETH )?
Many say, “Crypto = high-risk asset when geopolitical tensions rise.” But in reality, geopolitical conditions can be a double-edged sword for crypto:
⸻
🚩 Why Does Crypto Become Riskier During Political Tensions?
1. Sharp Increase in Volatility
Global investors usually move to safe assets (gold, USD) during crises — crypto may be sold off first as it is seen as speculative.
2. Liquidity Can Drop
During high uncertainty (like threats of tariffs or trade wars), market volume can decrease, spreads widen → high slippage risk.
3. Sudden Regulations
Countries affected by conflict may immediately restrict access to crypto (China, Russia, etc.), causing prices to drop quickly.
⸻
✅ But… Why Can Crypto Also Benefit?
1. As a “New Hedge Asset” (Digital Gold)
When confidence in the fiat system is shaken (example: BRICS dedollarization), investors start looking at BTC as an alternative hedge.
2. Global Financial Access During Sanctions or Tariffs
Countries or individuals locked out of the global financial system can use crypto to stay connected to the world economy.
3. Decentralization Narrative Becomes Stronger
When countries dominate and control the system too much, crypto, which is free from authority, becomes attractive to the public and corporations.
