Asian handicap early review: Geopolitical risks are heating up, and risk-avoidance sentiment rises in the crypto market

As the situation in the Middle East continues to escalate, shipping risk in the Strait of Hormuz keeps markets on edge. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent has hinted that “unprecedented” economic sanctions against Iran will be rolled out this week, and geopolitical uncertainty is quickly intensifying.

$BTC, as the strongest “hard-currency” crypto asset, may actually benefit in an environment like this. Looking back at history, during periods of geopolitical conflict, funds often flow into safe-haven assets: gold first, and crypto currencies follow.

But don’t rush in. This is still the early Asian session—liquidity hasn’t fully recovered yet. After the European session opens, watch how the funds “vote” with their positioning. It’s more prudent to make a decision during the U.S. session. #BTC #加密货币 #地缘政治 #投资策略 #Market analysis
