According to Fox News, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Kursk region for the first time since Russian forces expelled Ukrainian troops from the territory. This development signals increased geopolitical stability in the Kursk area, which could result in reduced short-term volatility for risk-sensitive assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
