According to Fox News, the US Army celebrated its 250th anniversary with a major parade in Washington, D.C., honoring heroes of past wars (source: Fox News on Twitter). While the event primarily marks a milestone for defense history, it also influences investor sentiment in defense-related stocks, with increased attention on companies supplying military technology. Historically, such patriotic events can create a temporary boost in defense sector equities, which may indirectly affect cryptocurrency markets as investors rebalance portfolios, especially given recent trends of crypto hedging during geopolitical events (source: Bloomberg, historical equity-crypto correlation data). Traders should monitor defense stock movements and watch for short-term shifts in crypto market volatility.
