While diplomatic efforts around the Iran conflict are in full swing, global financial markets are reacting with their usual nervousness. But one asset class is showing resilience that has surprised many experts: Bitcoin. At a time when oil prices are rising and traditional currencies are fluctuating, the \u201cdigital gold\u201d narrative is gaining strength. We analyze price movements and long-term scenarios for investors in the DACH region.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"4\">The anatomy of the market shock: First panic, then precision<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Historically, markets react to the outbreak of geopolitical conflicts with a reflexive \u201crisk-off\u201d move. That means investors flee from risky assets (like stocks or volatile cryptocurrencies) into supposedly safe havens like the US dollar or physical gold.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">In the current scenario around Iran, an initial pullback was also observed. Bitcoin and Ethereum briefly lost ground in the first reaction. But the recovery set in faster than in previous crisis cycles. The reason: In 2026, Bitcoin is no longer seen only as a speculative technology, but as <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"330\">censorship-resistant insurance<\/b>. When physical borders close and the traditional banking system comes under pressure in conflict zones, the blockchain remains as a global, neutral infrastructure.<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"20572\" data-bid=\"1\" data-placement=\"33872\">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<\/script><h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\">Bitcoin: Decoupling from the traditional stock market?<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">A fascinating phenomenon of recent weeks (during the Iran conflict) is Bitcoin\u2019s increasing decoupling from the S&amp;P 500 in times of crisis. While stock markets suffer under the burden of rising energy costs and disrupted supply chains, Bitcoin benefits from its absolute scarcity\u2014a factor further reinforced by the recent milestone of <b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"342\">20 million mined coins<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"10\">Price forecast and market data:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Resistance zones:<\/b> Bitcoin is currently struggling with a psychologically important level that could serve as a springboard for new all-time highs once the situation stabilizes.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Support:<\/b> Massive interest from institutional buyers (spot ETFs) is acting as a \u201cfloor.\u201d Every war-driven dip has been aggressively bought up in recent days.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Oil correlation:<\/b> As oil prices rise due to tensions in the Persian Gulf, inflationary pressure in Europe is increasing. This is pushing investors in Germany and Austria more strongly into Bitcoin to protect their capital\u2019s purchasing power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"13\">Ethereum and the DeFi shield<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">While Bitcoin is digital gold, Ethereum is acting in this crisis as the <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"81\">digital financial system<\/b>. In regions threatened by sanctions or bank closures, decentralized protocols (DeFi) offer the only way to move capital or take out loans. Worth reading: Thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/news-en\/ethereum-comes-of-age-how-the-pectra-upgrades-secure-the-future\/\">Ethereum update <em>Pectra<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s growing up<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Demand for stablecoins like USDC and USDT on the Ethereum blockchain has surged. Investors use these assets to park volatility without having to leave the crypto ecosystem. The Pectra upgrade (Part 2), which massively reduced transaction costs, is now proving to be a strategic advantage: users can act cost-effectively even in hectic market phases.<\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"17\">Hyperliquid (HYPE) and the flight to decentralized exchanges<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">A clear winner of the geopolitical turbulence is the sector of decentralized derivatives exchanges, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/en\/insights-en\/hyperliquid-hype-the-defi-outperformer-that-defies-the-market-trend\/\"><b data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"111\">Hyperliquid<\/b><\/a>. In times of crisis, traders increasingly fear state actors gaining access to their accounts on centralized exchanges (CEX).<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">The native token <b data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"17\">HYPE<\/b> delivered above-average performance. The logic is simple: a platform that runs on its own Layer-1 blockchain and has no central control authority is immune to political arbitrariness. Hyperliquid has established itself as the place where professional traders hedge their positions when the world order starts to wobble.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\"><div class=\"row row-collapse align-middle row-comparison\"  id=\"row-1914714670\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-382581893\" class=\"col medium-3 small-6 large-3 small-col-first\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover\" id=\"banner-1618912073\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" >\n                                                \n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n\n   <div id=\"text-box-1603868178\" class=\"text-box banner-layer text-box-circle x50 md-x50 lg-x50 y50 md-y50 lg-y50 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text-box-content text dark\">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_850587906\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/Bitvavo-Aktion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-1024x341.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-1536x512.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/bitvavo-mark-and-logo-black-2048x683.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_850587906 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_897485691\">\n\t\t<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinpro.ch\/Bitvavo-Aktion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" >\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\n<style>\n#image_897485691 {\n  width: 80%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-1603868178 .text-box-content {\n  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n#text-box-1603868178 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-1618912073 {\n  padding-top: 99.99%;\n  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-382581893 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1641854532\" class=\"col col-comparison-description medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 1em;\">Bitvavo, one of the leading exchanges from Europe (Netherlands) with a large selection of cryptocurrencies.
