❗Potential consequences of the war 🇮🇱🇮🇷 for the crypto market

1. Increased demand for "alternative assets" (including cryptocurrencies)

During periods of geopolitical instability, investors often seek "safe havens" such as gold, the Swiss franc, and in recent years — Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin and XRP may receive short-term support due to capital inflows, especially if traditional markets decline.

2. Increased volatility

Conflicts in the Middle East often lead to spikes in oil prices and turbulence in stock markets. This can enhance the volatility of cryptocurrencies, both positively and negatively. The risks of sharp corrections will increase, especially if the situation escalates.

3. Rising oil prices and impact on energy-intensive cryptocurrencies

If oil prices rise, it will increase the cost of mining Bitcoin and other Proof-of-Work currencies, which may affect profitability and even price expectations.

4. Acceleration towards decentralization

In the event of sanctions, blockades, or financial restrictions, countries and citizens affected by the restrictions may increasingly turn to cryptocurrencies.
