🎓 For a 15-Year-Old:
🔹 What is Decoupling in Crypto?
Decoupling means when two things that usually move together stop doing that.
In crypto, we often say:
“Bitcoin is decoupling from the stock market.”
This means that:
Usually, when the stock market goes up, Bitcoin also goes up.
But during decoupling, Bitcoin starts doing its own thing — maybe it rises while stocks fall, or vice versa.
🔍 Why does it happen?
New money is flowing into crypto from different places (like ETFs or whales).
People start trusting crypto more than the dollar or stocks.
Major news like a country adopting Bitcoin, or Trump backing crypto, can pull BTC away from traditional markets.
🧸 For a 5-Year-Old:
🧲 “Decoupling” is like Two Toys Not Sticking Together Anymore
Imagine:
You have two magnets (one is Bitcoin, the other is the stock market).
When you play with them, they usually move together — one pulls the other.
But now, suddenly…
One flies off and does its own thing!
That’s decoupling — when two things that used to go together, start going in different directions.
🎯 Real Crypto Example:
If stocks are crashing 📉 but Bitcoin is still going up 📈 — that's decoupling
It shows crypto is becoming more independent from traditional finance.
