However, investing heavily in cryptocurrencies can be a double-edged sword. “NATO countries can ban cryptocurrencies. Some other politically unstable regions of the world are likely to buy more Bitcoin to hedge against risk,” commented Katie Talati, head of research at digital asset management company Arca.
The macro landscape is changing hourly depending on the state of conflict in Ukraine, suddenly turning Bitcoin from a risky asset back into an attractive option in a matter of days. “Ukrainian tensions are helping decouple cryptocurrencies from tech stocks. The growth over the past two days is proof,” Vijay Ayyar told CNBC.
Some experts believe that Bitcoin remains the leading tool for hedging. “In the current period, the economies in Europe show many differences. Combined with the event in Ukraine are two factors that explain the cash inflow Bitcoin. Bitcoin has the properties of gold when investors hold it for the long term,” said Stephane Ouellet, CEO at Financial institution FRNT stock.
In general, the market remains volatile due to the tense situation in Ukraine. “Risks may still arise, such as a failed outcome of negotiations or Russia launching more major military operations. The future is still unpredictable,” added Yuya Hasegawa, a cryptocurrency expert at exchange Bitbank.
