Crypto in a time of crisis: Can decentralized fintech hold the line?
As tensions escalate around the globe, Byte-Sized Insight explores how crypto behaves in crisis, from Bitcoin’s market resilience to blockchain’s role in preserving journalism and dispersing aid.
As geopolitical tensions rise in the Middle East and global markets brace for volatility, Byte-Sized Insight’s latest episode explores how crypto reacts under pressure and whether it can provide more than just price movement.
In the first half of the episode, host Savannah Fortis speaks with Cointelegraph’s Ray Salmond and Marcel Pechman, who offer expert commentary and break down how Bitcoin (BTC) has performed amid growing fears of US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty… and we see this reflected in the price action of gold, silver, US Treasurys and Bitcoin,” Salmond explains.
