Citrini Research Links Iran Conflict to Crypto Volatility and Agentic Finance
What happened
Citrini Research issued an analysis arguing that a new paradigm of fundamental crypto investing has begun, driven by AI-driven agentic finance built on blockchains. The firm cited weekend crude oil trading during the Iran conflict as a key turning point for this shift. Citrini Research flagged Coinbase, Robinhood, and Circle as potential beneficiaries of this trend.

Why it matters
The volatility during the Iran conflict tested the viability of blockchain-based venues, such as Hyperliquid, setting crude oil prices while traditional futures markets were closed. Citrini Research argues that crypto has spent fifteen years building the always-on, programmable financial infrastructure required for AI agents.
