Bitcoin Holds Steady Amid Israel-Iran Conflict—NoOnes CEO Reveals Why (For Now)

Bitcoin's price refuses to flinch as geopolitical tensions escalate between Israel and Iran—defying traditional market panic. Here's what's really driving the resilience.

The Digital Safe Haven Play

While gold and oil spike on war fears, BTC barely twitches. NoOnes CEO suggests crypto markets are pricing in a new reality: digital assets don't care about your old-world conflicts.

Liquidity Trumps Armageddon

Whale wallets show more activity than UN emergency sessions. Turns out billionaires would rather rebalance portfolios than prevent nuclear war—who knew?

The ultimate stress test? Watching BTC volatility dip below S&P 500 swings while missiles fly. Maybe 'store of value' finally means something... or maybe everyone's just waiting for the Fed's next bailout signal.

Bitcoin fails as a hedge asset for now: Yossef

Bitcoin’s lack of movement, according to Youssef, suggests that its hedge-asset narrative is losing traction in today’s market.

Bitcoin no longer appears to function as a hedge asset; instead, it behaves more like a high-beta tech stock, caught in the macro winds but not really steering its own ship. The LINK between BTC and the Nasdaq 100 is still strong at 0.68,” Ray Yossef, NoOnes.

Still, Youssef notes that geopolitical risk is driving a shift within the broader crypto landscape. Bitcoin dominance is approaching 66%, as traders retreat from riskier altcoins. If global tensions continue to mount, this rotation into BTC could accelerate, especially if capital controls, sanctions, and infrastructure disruptions enter the mix.
