The global energy supply landscape is undergoing profound changes. Once a major power further controls oil reserves in places like Venezuela, the distribution rights of nearly half of the world's crude oil reserves will face restructuring. This is not only a matter of commercial competition but also involves the re-pricing of the entire global economic order.



Why is this so critical? There are three reasons. First, oil directly impacts global inflation levels—who controls the supply side can influence commodity price trends. Second, if the traditional petrodollar system is further strengthened, it may support the dollar's performance in the short term, but in the long run, countries' motivation to de-dollarize will become stronger. Third, energy constraints will affect energy-exporting economies like Russia, altering the international power balance.

What does these changes mean for the crypto market and Bitcoin investors? At least a few perspectives are worth noting.

From a macro environmental perspective, the uncertainty in energy prices will directly disrupt the Federal Reserve's pace of interest rate cuts. If rising oil prices push up inflation expectations, central banks may be forced to slow down their easing measures, increasing overall market volatility. In terms of the US dollar, although strengthening the petrodollar system benefits the dollar in the short term, this reinforcement will accelerate global demand for alternative assets—digital assets happen to be an option to hedge against traditional financial risks.

From the perspective of crypto assets, geopolitical risks and inflationary pressures often prompt capital to reconsider asset allocation. Bitcoin, as a store of value unaffected by any single country's policies, tends to attract long-term risk-averse holders during such uncertainties. Ecosystems like Ethereum may also find new development opportunities due to the trend of "tokenization," especially when traditional financial orders face restructuring.

Energy is the lifeblood of the modern economy. When the power over energy supply is redistributed, the logic of currency, trading systems, and asset pricing will also adjust accordingly. Have you already considered these potential structural changes in your asset allocation?

This wave of geopolitical games will indeed stir up the crypto circle, but to be honest, we retail investors can't control the rise and fall of oil prices. It still depends on the Fed's stance. Energy power restructuring → US dollar under pressure → Surge in demand for crypto assets. This logical chain is fine, but in the short term, Bitcoin may not necessarily follow the trend and rise. Strengthening of the petrodollar might actually be a bloodsucker; only when countries truly start de-dollarizing will crypto enter its golden age. Venezuela's oil issue has long been part of the chess game. Don't be fooled by geopolitical news; the key is when the macro environment will truly tighten. De-dollarization is progressing much slower than expected. In the short term, expect mainly volatility. Those holding positions should prepare psychologically.

Honestly, the energy geopolitics logic has been a cliché for a long time, but there is some truth underneath. The de-dollarization process has been happening for a while, and BTC is the best proof of that. --- Regarding rising oil prices and inflation expectations, you're not wrong, but will the Federal Reserve really cooperate? It seems that Bitcoin has instead become a hedge tool, and this time it might really be its turn. --- I don't quite agree with the tokenization part. Just shouting slogans is useless; it depends on actual adoption rates. However, the restructuring of energy rights will indeed accelerate the demand for alternative assets, and that logic holds. --- Another energy argument? Every time there's geopolitical tension, someone brings this up, but BTC's true value lies in financial independence. No matter who controls the oil fields, it doesn't change that. --- Wait, your logic about de-dollarization and the strengthening of the petrodollar system is contradictory, isn't it? Short-term benefits for the dollar, but long-term acceleration of de-dollarization? That's a bit confusing. --- Asset allocation has long shifted to on-chain, but this article is too macro; the real question is how to allocate specifically.

The theory of the collapse of the petrodollar is back again. De-dollarization will indeed push BTC, but the logical chain is too long... When the energy crisis actually arrives, risk assets will be the first to crash.

Energy power restructuring and de-dollarization acceleration have actually been on the table for a long time. The key is who gets on board first, essentially a matter of timing for bottom-fishing.

Basically, the reallocation of energy power is just hype for BTC. Decentralized things will eventually move up the priority list.

Whenever there's a shift in the energy chessboard, the dollar system needs to be re-evaluated. This logic is sound. But honestly, what can Bitcoin hedge against? The key still depends on how central banks play it. When oil prices soar, the Federal Reserve can't keep flooding the market forever. In the short term, the dollar remains strong. Saying "de-dollarization" is too optimistic.

Reconstruction of energy power → De-dollarization acceleration → BTC becomes a hedging tool, the logical chain is clear, should have been deployed earlier.
