As 2026 unfolds, it's becoming increasingly apparent that the perfect storm for a crypto surge might already be in motion. Global geopolitical tensions are escalating, and confidence in traditional sovereign institutions continues to erode. Against this backdrop, digital assets are stepping into their true role as a genuine store of value—not just speculation, but actual utility in an uncertain world.
The pattern is clear: when institutional trust fractures, capital seeks alternatives. More instability across the traditional financial system naturally pushes flow into decentralized solutions. The thesis isn't theoretical anymore—you can watch it play out in real time as macro headwinds intensify and risk-off sentiment hits legacy markets.

Hmm... let me see where the data support for this narrative lies? It feels a bit overly linearized.

Honestly, I'm tired of this rhetoric. Every time there's a crisis, they say crypto is a safe haven. But what happened? The supposed institutional trust collapse, why hasn't it collapsed yet?
