Bitcoin

Geopolitical risk has historically been a catalyst for crypto’s ‘digital gold’ narrative. A de‑escalation could reduce the flight‑to‑safety demand for Bitcoin, while any renewed tension (e.g., sanctions, oil shocks) would reignite that demand and also boost crypto usage in Iran’s sanctions‑circumventing ecosystem. The current market is already in a low‑confidence, fear‑driven state (Fear & Greed 26), making it highly sensitive to any geopolitical cue.

Trump’s envoys, Witkoff and Kushner, are scheduled to fly to Pakistan for talks related to Iran.
