$BTC Bitcoin's price experienced a rapid increase during Asian trading sessions, jumping from $95,000 to $97,000, and surpassing the $100,000 mark driven by its growing role as a safe haven amid challenges of **stagflation** (a mix of rampant inflation and weak growth). Bitcoin is characterized by its limited supply, which enhances its appeal in an economic environment where central banks are hesitant to raise interest rates to preserve growth.
In this context, investors are looking to reduce reliance on traditional high-risk assets in favor of hedging instruments that are not tied to their performance, as Bitcoin - despite its volatility - is seen as a global alternative, especially with bonds failing to provide real returns.
