The debate over whether crypto serves as a hedge during war is no longer theoretical. After the recent U.S.–Iran conflict, the crypto market has taken a surprising turn that many traditional analysts did not expect. Normally, during geopolitical tensions, investors move their money into safer assets like gold or the S&P 500. However, the data since the 24th of February dip suggests something different. Instead of staying weak, the crypto market has staged a strong comeback.  On the 10th of March, Bitcoin [BTC] moved back above the $71.1K level, which signals more than just a short-term recovery.

The Ethereum Foundation is using what Vitalik Buterin described as a DVT-lite approach to stake a large portion of its ETH treasury, turning an internal treasury move into a broader push to simplify distributed staking for institutions. In a March 9 post on X, Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation is using DVT-lite to stake 72,000 ETH and argued the project should make it “maximally easy and one-click” for institutions to run distributed staking. That builds on the Ethereum Foundation’s own Treasury Staking Initiative announcement from February 24, which said approximately 70,000 ETH would be staked with rewards directed back to…
