Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz disrupts the U.S. playbook: Why is BTC still rising?

💡 Negative: Iran tightens control over the Strait of Hormuz, putting the U.S. in a difficult position in the Middle East; global oil markets and risk assets face short-term pressure.

Crypto Briefing’s exclusive report: U.S. officials have openly admitted that Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz has already thrown off the U.S. strategic calculations. Hormuz is the choke point for global oil shipping—most Middle East crude exports rely on this waterway. With Iran holding that choke point, whether the U.S. tries military deterrence or sits down to negotiate, the numbers are hard to pencil out. What’s interesting is that once the news broke, the market response was muted: BTC is still at $63,038, up 0.66% over 24 hours; ETH is at $1,883, up 0.81%
