Geopolitical tensions are back in focus.



The latest U.S. military operation against Iran and continued uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz have pushed oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields higher.

Whenever global uncertainty rises, investors tend to reassess risk across all markets, including crypto.

While short-term volatility can shake confidence, it also reminds us why many people view digital assets as part of a diversified portfolio.

Will crypto behave as a risk asset this week, or start decoupling from traditional markets?

If something really goes wrong in the Strait of Hormuz, it’s a so-called “oil-and-coins triple kill”—oil spikes, coins follow, and it becomes a threefold win.

It’s just short-term price fluctuation; long-term holders don’t even look at this.

Rising U.S. Treasury yields put pressure on all risk assets, and the crypto market can’t escape it.

“Decoupling” has been talked about for three years, but the correlation has only been getting stronger.

Sure, people say it, but when it really comes time to seek refuge, everyone still runs to the US dollar.
