WW3 Imminent: Is the India and Pakistan War Time to Sell?

Crypto markets took a hit after the India and Pakistan war kicked off, with India launching precision strikes in Kashmir on Tuesday, reigniting tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

The geopolitical flare-up sent a jolt through digital assets, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana all dropping as investors moved to de-risk.

Maybe we’ll see China and Taiwan next? Four different warzones at the same time would not be great.

So the question on minds is whether this news is a nothingburger or whether you should be prepared to sell as more wars heat up.

India and Pakistan War: Crypto Prices Take a Brief Hit

Minutes after news broke of India’s “Operation Sindoor” strikes in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, markets recoiled. Bitcoin fell to $94,671. Ethereum slid to $1,774. Solana dropped to $144.

But the drop was short-lived.

Log

The real fear here is we’re seeing levels of conflict not seen between these two nations in 100 years. Additionally, many are speculating whether China will support Pakistan and the US India.

To say “nothing is happening” is delusional.  Anon, living in denial is not healthy.

Investor Behavior and Stablecoin Surge

In the face of armed conflict, investors usually don’t chase upside—they’re looking for cover. Remember that this is the third major global war occurring concurrently, and there is no sign that any of them will slow down.

Crypto’s long-term promise isn’t much comfort when missiles start flying. Volatility becomes a liability. Stablecoins, pegged to fiat, are pulling in capital as traders seek something—anything—that doesn’t swing 10% on every headline.

After Pakistan claimed to down five Indian jets and India doubled down on targeted strikes, markets buckled further.
