WHY IS THE HORMUZ STRAIT IMPORTANT?

Approximately 20% of the oil transported by sea worldwide passes through here.

15-20 million barrels of oil are distributed worldwide through this strait daily.

It is the lifeline of exports for Gulf countries, primarily Iran and Saudi Arabia.

MARKET IMPACTS

1. Sharp Increase in Oil Prices

Brent and WTI oil prices can quickly rise by 10-30%.

With the increase in energy costs, inflationary pressures rise globally.

2. Panic Sales in Stock Markets

Sectors that are particularly energy-dependent (aviation, transportation, industry) will drop sharply.

Due to global uncertainty, there will be an exit from risky assets.

3. Shift to Gold and Safe Havens

Demand for safe havens like gold, silver, Swiss Franc, and US bonds increases.

IMPACT ON BITCOIN

Scenario 1: Wave of Risk Aversion (Short-term Decline)

Initially, a need for liquidity arises in an environment of uncertainty and panic.

Investors may sell volatile assets like Bitcoin to generate cash.

In this case, the #Bitcoin price may decline in the short term.

Scenario 2: Inflation and Search for Alternative Systems (Medium-Long Term Increase)

The wave of inflation triggered by the oil shock reduces trust in fiat currencies.

The increase in global tensions may highlight Bitcoin's “digital gold” feature.

Especially in developing countries, individuals may turn to Bitcoin against capital flight.
