Will crypto crash if Iran war escalates further?

Probably not immediately. Bitcoin's already proven it can handle escalation without collapsing. But persistent geopolitical risk could keep investors sidelined indefinitely, preventing rallies from forming. The risk isn't a crash—it's stagnation.

Is stablecoin growth happening because of crypto adoption or macro fear?

Both, but mostly adoption. The $315 billion stablecoin market is growing because institutions and traders need dollar-pegged digital assets for actual transactions—not because they're fleeing equities. The macro uncertainty is just a tailwind that accelerates what's already happening structurally.

Should I buy crypto now if there's geopolitical uncertainty?

Grayscale says yes if you're thinking in years. But "years" is the operative word. If you need your money in months, waiting for clarity makes sense. If you're betting everything on a quick resolution to Iran tensions, you're gambling on geopolitics, not crypto adoption.
