According to @FoxNews, President Trump said he had a long talk with Erika, the wife of Charlie Kirk, and described her as absolutely devastated following an assassination at a Utah Valley University event (source: @FoxNews, Sep 11, 2025). For traders, political-risk shocks like assassinations are associated with short-term spikes in volatility and risk aversion across equities and crypto, with Bitcoin (BTC) increasingly moving in sync with stocks since 2020 (source: International Monetary Fund, 2022, Crypto Prices Move More in Sync With Stocks). Monitor three signals for potential spillovers: BTC and ETH implied volatility and futures basis, derivatives funding rates, and safe-haven flows into USD and gold that typically strengthen during risk-off episodes (sources: IMF 2022; Baur and Lucey, 2010, The Financial Review; Ranaldo and Söderlind, 2010, The Journal of Finance).
