In recent years, macroeconomic events — such as decisions on monetary policy in the United States, global inflation, or banking crises — have caused waves of volatility in the financial market. So far, nothing new. What stands out, however, is how bitcoin, an asset that was born on the fringes of the traditional system, now reacts to these events increasingly similar to consolidated assets. For some, this may seem like a “domestication” of the crypto asset. For others — and this is where I stand — this is a great sign.
The most recent case is illustrative: the announcement of Donald Trump's new commercial tariffs package triggered an immediate drop of about 7% in the price of bitcoin. However, when the former president reversed his decision, temporarily suspending the measure for 90 days, bitcoin rebounded strongly, rising by more than 6%. This type of reaction — typical of widely traded assets integrated into the global market — shows that bitcoin is now at the forefront of macroeconomic sensitivity.
