The recent international situation has indeed made market sentiment somewhat tense. The US security warning combined with the USD to IRR exchange rate breaking through the extreme level of 1:1000055, with the IRR devaluation being so severe that many crypto investors are reminded of the rapid collapse of certain air projects. Currently, market risk appetite has clearly declined, and many are contemplating whether to cut losses in time.
But before analyzing this issue, it is necessary to understand a fundamental logic: geopolitical conflicts often act as amplifiers of financial market emotions, with a particularly direct impact on crypto assets. This stems from a simple fact—cryptocurrency assets are still classified by the mainstream as high-risk asset categories. When geopolitical risks escalate, the instinctive reaction of capital is to seek safety, either flowing back into traditional safe havens like the US dollar and gold or exiting the market altogether to wait for clarity. This process inevitably triggers a sharp increase in short-term volatility in the crypto market.
However, a key variable in this round cannot be ignored: the influence of macro political cycles. From the US political schedule, the performance of the economy and capital markets often becomes the ruling party’s biggest bargaining chip. Market stability has a direct impact on the political agenda—if the market experiences a significant decline at critical moments, voter confidence will be damaged, thereby affecting the ruling party’s political prospects.
From another perspective, the current expansion of risk exposure can be better understood not as pure panic, but as a rational release of market pressure. In this context, anxiety may be merely a short-term phenomenon rather than a signal of a long-term trend.
