Geopolitics, rising oil prices and ETF inflows are shaping Bitcoin’s outlook. Is now the right time for Canadian investors to buy BTC?

Welcome to the Canadian Crypto Observer. Financial journalist and author Aditya Nain offers perspective on market-moving headlines to help Canadian investors navigate the cryptocurrency market.

Right now, geopolitics is front of mind for investors and almost nothing else matters to the markets. Whether you invest in the stock market, real estate, bonds, or cryptocurrencies, you’re probably checking the global news section of the newspaper first thing each morning—hoping against hope for some good news, especially with regard to the US-Israel war with Iran. 

Unfortunately, Since the time of writing the previous edition of this column, the war has only gotten worse. The US and Israel continue their onslaught on targets in Iran, while Iran continues to target several gulf countries with US military bases, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and others. As of now, apart from a few (sometimes contradictory) tweets from President Trump, there are few signs that this war will abate as soon as we’d hoped.
