Tokenization and global conflicts: How they affect your investments
This is my first post in the Pussfi community, and I'm pleased to be here talking about a topic that I believe is essential to understand thoroughly. Personally, I really like macroeconomics. In fact, to improve my trading, I took a macroeconomic analysis course a while back, which helped me gain a clearer vision of how markets are affected by events in geopolitics. And when I talk about markets, I'm not just referring to traditional markets (stocks, indices, etc.) but also to the crypto market, which is particularly important to me, and certainly to everyone on this platform.
The current global reality, with several very significant wars underway, makes understanding macroeconomics and geopolitics more than necessary to know where to invest or not. Obviously, this doesn't mean that success is guaranteed for every investment, because there are no magic formulas, but knowledge can make the path less complicated in this regard.
For example, the current conflict between Israel and Iran, considering that the entire Middle East generates a large portion of the world's oil consumption, and that there are also specific areas of this conflict region through which a significant portion of the oil and ships that transport products globally pass, underscores the importance of understanding the process and how it can affect the world.
A clear example is the price of oil, which has only continued to rise since the start of the war between Israel and Iran, and this ultimately affects us all. If the price of oil rises, so do the prices of gasoline and diesel, which increases the price of every product, increasing global inflation, as we are already seeing in real time.
The other interesting thing here, and based on knowledge, we can profit in the markets, is the price of gold. As we know, it remains the world's main economic safe haven in times of uncertainty, as it tends to increase in value and rise considerably in price. We can see that this has been happening, as you can see in the following chart.
But I understand that being in the digital world, we like more what has to do with cryptocurrencies, I understand that perfectly. Did you know that there is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to the price of Gold?, well, yes, it exists, and it is a way to expose ourselves to gold without having an account with a broker, because it is a crypto that we can acquire on an exchange like Binance, for example, we have two cryptocurrencies of this type, PAX Gold (PAXG), there is also one created by Theter, which is called Tether Gold (XAUt)
In Venezuela, a token pegged to the price of oil emerged some time ago, called the Petro. But the problem is that, coming from a government with such autocratic characteristics, it's clear that it wasn't going to grow over time. It was also linked to money laundering and major acts of corruption, which ultimately brought down the project.
This is also a clear example of how politics affects absolutely everything, not to mention how decisions made by the Trump administration, such as tariffs, have brought down the crypto and traditional markets more than once this year.
But I want to make something clear, because I know that what I'm sharing here sounds like something like "let's profit from war," and this is unfortunately very unfortunate. No country should be at war. I strive for peace. But there is a reality, and that is that, in general, those who govern are only interested in staying in power. Based on this, what I see is that with the necessary information, we can profit from the market by taking advantage of the likely movements that will occur in the markets due to conflicts.
We can take advantage of the tokenization of assets that exists today, where, as we can see, there are tokens for gold, silver, and even wheat, which is a very important commodity. For example, silver is also a metal that tends to rise in value when there are armed conflicts, so knowing about it is a good way to back up our money. This is the case with Silver (KAG).
Through this post, I wanted to show that there are investment options beyond the most well-known currencies, and that the tokenization of raw materials and precious materials is an increasingly present reality. And to get the most out of all this, it is necessary to understand geopolitics, macroeconomics, and how to unify all of this into a framework that allows us to make better decisions.
