This highlights how crypto markets now price in 'black swan' events beyond traditional financial centers - the 2023 Turkey earthquake triggered a 12% BTC surge as victims used crypto for aid.

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck southern Philippines, triggering tsunami warnings and causing at least one death.
