In a lengthy thread<\/a> <\/strong>on X (formerly Twitter), Wynn argued that a perfect storm of tightening liquidity, fading retail interest, and the specter of wider conflict could send digital-asset prices spiraling. He framed the scenario in stark terms: if the United States intervenes militarily, rival powers could take sides, global risk appetite would evaporate, and crypto markets would \u201cnuke\u201d before any recovery could begin.<\/p>\n

Wynn\u2019s thesis hinges on the Federal Reserve\u2019s next move. Governor Christopher Waller recently floated the idea of rate cuts \u201cas early as next month,\u201d but Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a cooler tone at this week\u2019s FOMC press conference, refusing to pre-commit. To Wynn, that hesitation means liquidity relief is not coming soon enough to cushion a shock triggered by new Middle-East hostilities.<\/p>\n

While Wynn insists he remains a long-term crypto bull, he expects a violent flush first. Bitcoin has already slid about 1.7 percent on the day, trading near $103,500, and on-chain data from Coinglass show nearly $481 million in liquidations across the market over the last 24 hours. Ether has fared even worse, shedding roughly 4 percent.<\/p>\n
