A recent interesting phenomenon—whenever geopolitical conflicts occur, the crypto market almost always drops. But this time, BTC defied expectations, slightly rising and causing shorts to lose 65 million.

Analysts' interpretations are quite straightforward: this is not luck, but a sign that the market is truly maturing. What does Bitcoin's resilience against shocks indicate? It shows that more and more institutions and investors are viewing it as a safe-haven asset. The previous wild swings have decreased, replaced by stability at critical moments. This shift reflects the increasing maturity of the entire crypto market and a deepening risk awareness among market participants.

The 65 million short positions were wiped out, this is what a true safe-haven asset should look like --- The crypto world has finally matured. In the past, there would be a sharp decline at the first sign of trouble, but now institutional investors are even buying the dip --- Honestly, this round of BTC operations has changed my view. Its stability has really improved --- A proven safe-haven asset, could geopolitical conflicts actually be an opportunity to buy in? --- Institutional entry is different; the market’s maturity is visibly evident --- Shorts lost 65 million haha, serves them right. BTC is meant to be this resilient --- From wild swings to stable safe-haven, the shift is a bit rapid, but I like it --- The stability at critical moments—that’s the value of BTC, right? --- Market participants’ risk awareness has deepened; it’s no longer the era of retail investors
