Momentum for Bitcoin as a sovereign asset is accelerating following Iran's mandate for Bitcoin-only transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz, contributing to an 11.75% price surge. Adding to the geopolitical narrative, Arthur Hayes argues that Bitcoin's price is driven by global liquidity rather than interest rates, suggesting that rate hikes may not negatively impact the asset. Hayes analyzed four potential outcomes for Bitcoin amid the Iran conflict, focusing on monetary expansion as the primary catalyst for growth. This aligns with Forbes reports pushing for a $100,000 price target and Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan’s view that Bitcoin could eclipse gold's market cap. These developments mark a transition from speculative trading to Bitcoin becoming a fundamental layer of international trade and a hedge against monetary debasement.
