While the attack was foiled and does not directly target crypto infrastructure, the grievances cite 'data centres'—a nod to the growing anti-tech/anti-establishment narrative that often conflates crypto mining with broader societal ills.

Meanwhile, the market is already pricing in macro fears (rate uncertainty, recession risks), and any incremental uncertainty tends to drive capital toward cash or gold, not crypto.
