What are the major geopolitical risks we should be watching out for in 2025? Honestly, the biggest one might catch most people off guard.

When we look at crypto markets, they don't exist in a vacuum. Geopolitical tensions, trade disputes, and international conflicts have a ripple effect on capital flows, risk appetite, and ultimately, how money moves through digital assets.

Everyone's focusing on the obvious flashpoints, but there's usually one that sneaks up and reshapes the entire landscape. Whether it's shifting trade relationships, sanctions regimes, or unexpected diplomatic crises—these events can trigger massive volatility across crypto and traditional markets alike.

The real question is: are you prepared for the curveball? Understanding macro catalysts beyond just on-chain metrics might just be the edge you need.

NGL, this article is about paying attention to black swan events, but the real question is who the hell can predict them... The macro environment can indeed cause a sell-off, but compared to geopolitical issues, I'm more worried about those folks at the Federal Reserve.

ngl Geopolitics is really easy to overlook; crypto people are always staring at the K-line chart and forget to check the news...

The macro perspective is really easy to overlook, as many people are still focused on the K-line chart... and then a geopolitical black swan can catch you off guard.
