Closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the biggest risk for BTC prices this weekend, says analyst.
Investment Closure "June" (06/13/25)
🎬 Daily Summary: Economy, War, and Crypto in Focus!
📉 Ibovespa closes down this Friday the 13th, with a decline of 0.43%, pulled down by international tension. But the week ends in the green, with a cumulative increase of 0.82%.
🌍 What is the main cause of fear in the markets?
The conflict between Israel and Iran has heated up again. Bombings and counterattacks have raised oil prices and depressed stock markets worldwide. On Wall Street, declines above 1%. Geopolitical risk has returned with full force.
💸 Dollar and interest rates in Brazil?
The commercial dollar had a slight rise, closing at R$ 5.543. Future interest rates (DIs) also rose slightly.
🚨 Experts warn: higher oil prices could reignite inflation and make the environment even more unstable.
🪙 Meanwhile, in the crypto world…
Coinbase held the "State of Cryptocurrencies Summit," announcing:
Partnership with Shopify using USDC;
Acquisition of Derivit to boost derivatives;
And more integration with giants like BlackRock and SAP.
📊 The numbers are impressive:
Stablecoins grew by 50% in one year;
Asset tokenization grew 200 times;
Derivative volume already represents 75% of the crypto market.
📉 But not everything is gains:
Bitcoin and Ethereum fell with increased risk aversion. BTC, for example, fell by 1.13% amid tensions in the Middle East and uncertainties about tariffs between the US and China.
🛢 The big risk now?
The possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, a route through which 20% of global oil passes. If this happens, the impact could be brutal — and the crypto market, which never sleeps, will be the first to react.
🔮 Despite the turbulence, experts remain optimistic in the long term. Bitcoin is maturing as a global asset and continues to be accumulated by large investors as protection against the depreciation of the dollar.
