According to PANews, BlackRock's recently released '2025 Global Outlook' report highlights Bitcoin's potential as a new diversified asset. The report emphasizes Bitcoin's fixed supply and the growing demand driven by investor confidence in its adoption as a payment technology. This positions Bitcoin as having a lower correlation with stocks and other risk assets, suggesting its potential as a diversified investment tool alongside traditional assets like gold.
The report anticipates that emerging assets such as Bitcoin and traditional assets like gold will become new tools for diversification. As demand for Bitcoin increases and its supply remains limited, its value is expected to continue rising. Notably, Bitcoin reached an all-time high following the U.S. presidential election, possibly influenced by investors considering President-elect Donald Trump's commitments. The widespread adoption of Bitcoin is expected to transform investment risk and return dynamics, potentially making it a tactical hedge against certain risks, similar to gold.
Historically, investors have turned to gold to combat high inflation, and with major central banks purchasing gold as an alternative reserve currency, gold prices have surged. Understanding how these alternative assets perform compared to traditional asset classes is crucial. Given Bitcoin's role as a store of value and payment system, it holds potential as a diversified investment tool.
