PANews reported on October 21 that an article published in the Study Times pointed out that the global geopolitical landscape has been profoundly restructured. Digital currency, as an important strategic tool for national total war, modern hybrid warfare and digital financial warfare, is reshaping the cross-border flow of funds and resource mobilization models during wartime.
Digital currencies, powered by blockchain technology, possess the characteristics of decentralization and distributed ledgers, ensuring the integrity and security of transaction data. In battlefield environments, these characteristics can even influence the success or failure of military operations. While Bitcoin lacks the safe-haven properties of gold, the decentralized nature of blockchain has gradually strengthened its role as a "non-sovereign asset." Following the outbreak of geopolitical conflict, cryptocurrency prices often experience volatility and rapid rebounds, demonstrating their high sensitivity to conflict information and liquidity adaptability. Digital currencies can demonstrate resilience in wartime markets, supporting economic operations and livelihood security in war zones, and are crucial for protecting funds during armed conflict.
