Geopolitical Friction refers to tension or conflict between nations that can influence global economic and political stability. In the context of digital assets, such friction can lead to varying national stances on cryptocurrency regulation, cross-border transaction restrictions, or the development of competing digital currency initiatives. These international pressures affect market sentiment, investment flows, and the operational viability of global blockchain projects. Economic sanctions or trade disputes can directly impact the accessibility and utility of digital assets for certain populations.
