I just noticed something quite interesting about how the crypto market moves when the traditional markets are closed. So when geopolitical tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran escalate, traders rush to crypto platforms to seek 24/7 protection nonstop. What’s unique is that Bitcoin actually becomes the most liquid asset during times like this.
During that period, Bitcoin’s price briefly fell 3.8% to $63,038, then stabilized around $64,000, while ETH dropped 4.5% to $1,836. But what’s even more exciting is the movement on Hyperliquid—oil contracts rose by about 6.2% to $70.6 per barrel; gold jumped more than 5% to $5,464 per ounce; and silver even broke through 8% to $97.5. The 24-hour trading volume of silver already reached $400 million, while gold touched $140 million. The US stock index market on the platform fell 1–2%, showing a clear risk-off signal.
The total market cap of digital assets dropped by roughly $128 billion after the conflict broke out. But the most important thing here is the insight from Jake Ostrovskis, the Head of OTC at Wintermute, who said that because Bitcoin is traded 24/7, it becomes the most liquid asset for traders to deliver macro views when other markets are closed. This is completely different from altcoins—or even Dogecoin—which move more depending on regular market sentiment.
