HTX Research: How the Hormuz Shock Is Rewriting the Pricing Logic of the Crypto Market

PANAMA CITY, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX Research, the dedicated research arm of HTX Group, has released a new report titled Hormuz Shock, U.S. Midterms, and the Repricing of the Crypto Market. HTX Research concludes that the macro framework has shifted from "easing-driven risk recovery" to a more restrictive regime defined by geopolitical energy shock, higher-for-longer rates, and rising policy uncertainty. The crypto market's near-term trajectory has moved toward defense, stratification, and repricing. This assessment, detailed in the new report Hormuz Shock, U.S. Midterms, and the Repricing of the Crypto Market, echoes HTX's recently published 2026 Digital Asset Trends White Paper, which noted that digital asset volatility is now increasingly driven by funding costs, yield curves, and dollar index movements.
