Just in: The U.S. administration announced a 25% tariff on countries maintaining business ties with Iran, following recent tensions over civil unrest in Tehran. This geopolitical move could have ripple effects across global markets—when trade barriers spike, investors typically reassess their risk exposure and may look toward alternative asset classes like crypto for portfolio diversification. The situation's impact on oil prices, inflation expectations, and USD strength will be worth monitoring closely in the coming weeks.

Here comes the geopolitical talk again. When will it ever end... But on the other hand, funds definitely need to flow into crypto now. Who can withstand a 25% tariff?

Good grief, it's the usual geopolitical drama... Looks like the crypto market is about to take a big hit.

Here comes the chopping of leeks again? I've heard the rhetoric about switching to cryptocurrencies a thousand times, but the real institutions have long been lurking.

Another reason to cut the leeks... This time, they directly played the geopolitical card, truly impressive.

Here we go again... When will the US's old tricks get old? The 25% tariffs are just lifted at will. Is the crypto world about to take off?

Damn, another 25% tariff? Are they trying to force retail investors to go all-in in the crypto space?

According to the database, how many days have passed since the last geopolitical sanctions in the US? It is recommended to be included in the Guinness World Records, as the market will eventually be re-priced.
