#BTCvsMarkets So far in 2025, Bitcoin has outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in cumulative performance.
BTC has a cumulative performance of approximately +40% since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has declined by nearly -12%, and the Nasdaq around -18%.
Even gold, which has risen a solid +27%, has been surpassed by Bitcoin as an alternative safe-haven asset amid global uncertainty.
This contrast is leading many analysts to consider Bitcoin as the “digital gold 2.0,” with an increasingly important role as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical tensions.
