Top trading desks are positioning for a 'last-minute deal' scenario on the Greenland geopolitical tensions, betting that political negotiations will reach compromise rather than escalation. The Delta-One trading community expects volatility to cool once clarity emerges. Such macro developments typically ripple through crypto markets, affecting risk sentiment and capital allocation across digital assets. Institutional traders view this as a key variable for Q1 positioning.

What is all this geopolitical nonsense again? How can the crypto world trade peacefully like this?

ah, so they're basically front-running the peace narrative before the headlines catch up? classic delta-one playbook tbh. the opportunity cost of sitting flat here is actually wild when you think about the basis points on macro vol crush... sketchy money's already baked this in probably

The Greenland thing is really a cash cow for the big players, playing the gambling psychology like a pro.

Once again, it's the same trick of "acting at the last moment." The institutions have already seen through these little tricks.

It's the same narrative of "last-minute compromise" again... History shows that the more traders believe in this, the worse they lose.

Regarding that Greenland situation, traders are all betting that a compromise will be reached in the end... But I think, such geopolitical issues can change suddenly, and crypto might have to bounce around a few times before settling down.

Haha, the Green Island issue is being hyped up again. Institutions are still betting on trading at the last moment. I think sooner or later they will have to compromise; after all, the show has already been set up this way.
