Here's a take that's been brewing: Washington's laid-back approach to foreign policy basically rolled out the red carpet for Moscow and Pyongyang to cozy up.

While policymakers were asleep at the wheel, these two forged a partnership that's now reshaping regional power dynamics. The complacency wasn't just a minor oversight—it's a strategic blunder with ripples across global markets and geopolitical stability.

When major powers realign like this, it doesn't just stay in their backyard. Risk assets, including crypto, tend to react to these shifts in the balance of power. Investors watching the macro landscape know that geopolitical instability often drives capital flows toward decentralized alternatives.

The question now: how long before markets fully price in this new reality?

According to research, the transmission mechanism of geopolitical risk premiums does indeed affect the allocation of risk assets, but the logic chain in this article is a bit weak... From a technical perspective, the safe-haven properties of the crypto market are not that direct, and data shows that during several historical geopolitical conflicts, crypto actually fell.

The Feds really need to wake up, they should have seen Russia and North Korea teaming up coming a long time ago. Let’s see how the crypto space speculates on this wave of geopolitical tension; stablecoins have been pretty active lately. Speaking of these power struggles between major countries, in the end, it’s still the retail investors who suffer. I’m already prepared to increase my holdings. A policy vacuum like this is just an opportunity for others to exploit—a typical strategic blunder. Whenever the geopolitical situation shifts, on-chain liquidity immediately follows suit. That’s the rule.

Honestly, the US's "let it rot" diplomacy is really something else, letting Moscow and Pyongyang hook up just like that... --- Well, now the geopolitical chaos is actually giving crypto a chance? Kinda want to buy the dip ngl --- Wait, will major power realignment really impact the crypto market this quickly? Or are we overanalyzing things? --- While the US was asleep, some people must have made a killing off the information gap... --- So by that logic, the more chaos, the more bullish it is for decentralization? Should I go all in on stablecoins then? --- So much for last year's hype about US dominance... and now look --- Why does it feel like every time there's a geopolitical conflict, someone uses it to pump crypto? It's getting annoying

I saw this coming a long time ago. This move by the US is really outrageous... policymakers are collectively asleep at the wheel, and now they've been overtaken by Moscow and Pyongyang. Looks like they have to suffer a loss before they’ll learn their lesson.

I knew this would happen... Those people in Washington really have no brains. Now that Russia and North Korea have joined forces, they've completely upended the whole situation. But wait, this might actually be an opportunity for us? Chaos = capital flowing on-chain, those who get it, get it. Honestly, too many people can’t make sense of macro, but as long as you understand one thing—it’s that when geopolitics start burning money, on-chain activity starts to skyrocket. This move by Washington is really strategic suicide; the market will react sooner or later, and by then it’ll be too late for regrets. Who can accurately predict when the market will fully price this in... Anyway, I’m accumulating. This is why we have to believe in DeFi, because the traditional financial system is way too easily hijacked by politics. Too much money, not enough brains—that’s Washington’s reputation.
