Rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China could become one of the biggest macro catalysts for global markets — and crypto won’t be spared. From trade restrictions to tech wars, the growing uncertainty is already impacting investor sentiment, global supply chains, and market liquidity.

Crypto, especially Bitcoin and decentralized stablecoins, becomes a hedge against traditional market risk and fiat exposure. We’ve seen it before — during trade wars or sanctions, blockchain-based money gains relevance.
Investors need to stay alert. When fiat systems show cracks, crypto becomes the escape valve. The more intense the U.S.-China standoff becomes, the more people will look to permissionless finance.
