Gold and silver futures have become among the most actively traded non-crypto contracts on Binance, as global geopolitical tensions drive investors toward safe-haven assets.
US trade policies, escalating tensions in West Asia, and stalled negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are fueling a risk-off shift in markets. This environment undermines Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge, with zero trading volume detected on $100,000 price targets.
While Bitcoin thrives on uncertainty, extreme geopolitical instability favors physical metals. Institutional confidence in crypto remains muted until tensions ease or major endorsements emerge.
Traders are now closely monitoring US-Iran diplomacy and Ukraine peace talks-potential catalysts for a return to risk-on sentiment.
