Crypto Market Hedges Iran War Risks With 24/7 Oil and Gold Trading.
One of crypto’s favorite 24/7 trading venues has become an unlikely hotspot for commodities and traditional asset classes this weekend, as traders scramble for round-the-clock hedges amid escalating tensions between the US, Israel and Iran.
Perpetual swap futures, a type of futures contract that does not expire, tied to oil jumped about 5% to $70.6 per barrel on crypto-exchange Hyperliquid, while those for gold and silver rose roughly 1.3% and 2% to $5,323 and $94.9 per troy ounce, respectively. The moves may offer some indication of how those markets could respond once mainstream trading resumes on Monday.
