Odaily Planet Daily News Bankless founder David Hoffman stated that despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, oil prices remain relatively low, which may indicate that the market is gradually adapting and reducing its reliance on key energy passageways. He posted on the X platform: "After all of this, oil prices are still low. Perhaps the importance of the Strait of Hormuz is being permanently weakened, as the market is moving to other routes to bypass this passage."
The market believes that the global energy supply chain may be reducing its dependence on a single strategic waterway through diversified transportation routes, alternative supply channels, and infrastructure adjustments.
