Bitcoin has shown resilience during a record stock market downturn that resulted in a $5 trillion loss for the S&P 500, following President Donald Trump's tariff announcement aimed at reducing the trade deficit and boosting domestic manufacturing. While traditional markets faced a significant decline, Bitcoin's dip was only 3.7%, trading around $83,600, indicating its growing maturity as a global asset. Analysts note that this divergence from risk assets might reflect a shift in investor perception of Bitcoin as a hedge against financial instability, contrasting its historical correlations. Experts emphasize the impact of Bitcoin ETFs in enabling institutional exposure, suggesting that Bitcoin could enhance its reputation as 'digital gold' due to its hard-capped supply and decentralized nature. Despite current volatility, predictions remain optimistic, projecting Bitcoin could reach $132,000 by the end of 2025, driven by increased money supply.
