China officially warned the United States against military intervention in Iran. Beijing stated: any forceful operation will lead to destabilization of the region and global economic consequences. Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: "Military intervention will lead to uncontrollable consequences."
I think everyone knows that the Middle East is a key hub of energy markets and logistics. Judge for yourself:
- military risk → oil growth;
- oil growth → pressure on the dollar;
- debt markets → instability;
- central banks → emergency decisions.
And with each geopolitical blow, the transition to a new financial system accelerates. For crypto, this may mean the following:
• panic in traditional markets → transition to digital assets;
• Bitcoin → a neutral reserve outside of politics;
• XRP/ISO 20022 → settlements during sanctions breaks;
• Algorand/Hedera → infrastructure for state payments.
Therefore, when states argue with force, blockchain remains a neutral settlement network.
