Helius CEO Predicts Impact of U.S. War Victory on Dollar and Cryptocurrency

Helius CEO Mert recently shared insights on social media regarding the potential effects of a U.S. war victory on the financial landscape. According to Foresight News, Mert suggested that a victory could strengthen the U.S. dollar, accelerate the adoption of stablecoins, and lead to a resurgence in risk appetite. Conversely, a prolonged conflict similar to Vietnam or Iraq might disrupt shadow banking channels, theoretically benefiting cryptocurrencies but also introducing long-term risk aversion. Mert believes the most likely outcome is chaotic negotiations, with neither side acknowledging defeat, which could temporarily boost risk appetite. He summarized his view by stating that while the downside for cryptocurrencies appears limited, the potential for upward movement is asymmetrical. He anticipates this scenario could unfold over a period of up to six months.
