As of 1:50 p.m. on May 30, 2025, the price of Bitcoin on major domestic virtual asset exchanges rose 0.76% from the previous day to 148,493,000 won. Ethereum traded at 3,685,000 won, up 0.33%, while Ripple fell 0.9% to 3,108 won, forming a weak consolidation phase.

The virtual asset market, which recently exhibited extreme volatility, is entering a recovery phase. It is analyzed that Iran's passive response contributed to market stability amid concerns over the expansion of war in the Middle East. Iran vaguely mentioned only the strike itself without facing the detailed facts. However, as the perception spreads in the market that the trigger has already been pulled, this is a time that requires a cautious approach.

The 2025 virtual asset market is recording high volatility amid global political uncertainty. In particular, increasing uncertainty surrounding US foreign and economic policies—such as the reignition of the US-China trade conflict and pressure on allies to increase defense spending—is affecting the global economy and the virtual asset market. Instability in the Middle East caused by the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as the potential acceleration of Iran's nuclear development, are also delivering a direct blow to the global energy and virtual asset markets.

In addition, the impact of the technological hegemony competition between the US and China on the global supply chain is acting as a major variable in the virtual asset market. Major virtual assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple are experiencing increased price volatility due to these geopolitical risks and regulatory changes, and are heavily influenced by investor psychology.

The flow of the market can change at any time depending on shifts in the global situation. Considering geopolitical risks and market volatility, this is a time for investors to make strategic and cautious decisions through diversified investment and thorough risk management.
