US Air Assault Plans Against Cuba Send Shockwaves Through Crypto Markets

The US military is reportedly exploring air assault options against Cuba, sparking concerns about geopolitical risk and its potential impact on crypto markets.

According to a CBS report, the Army's 101st Airborne Division is involved in planning for a potential air assault, with no final decisions made by President Trump or the Pentagon yet.

The move comes amid intelligence suggesting Cuba has acquired over 300 military drones from Russia and Iran, raising alarms about threats to US interests in the Caribbean, including the naval station at Guantanamo Bay.

Historically, periods of military escalation have seen Bitcoin trade as 'digital gold', with geopolitical risk being bullish. However, a spike in stablecoin market cap without a corresponding rise in Bitcoin or Ethereum prices could signal that smart money is bracing for impact.
