Despite recent market volatility driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, Bitcoin (BTC) has shown remarkable resilience and is emerging as a potential store of value, according to new research from Bernstein analysts. 💰 📈 🛡️
Their report highlights the cryptocurrency’s ability to weather macroeconomic shocks much better than previous crises. The analysis shows that Bitcoin only experienced a 26% drop during widespread market sell-offs, far less severe than historical declines of 50%-70% during times like the COVID-19 crash or interest rate shifts.
Bernstein attributes this resilience to increased demand from institutional investors seeking more stable and long-term capital. This suggests that Bitcoin may be shifting its trajectory towards a mature asset within diversified investment portfolios.
The report also emphasizes that while Bitcoin often acts as a barometer for market risk appetite, this characteristic doesn’t diminish its potential over time.
