BTC vs. Markets: A Volatile Dance
Bitcoin (BTC) often moves independently of traditional markets, earning its reputation as "digital gold" and a potential hedge against inflation. While stocks and bonds react to economic data, interest rates, and corporate earnings, Bitcoin’s price is driven by adoption trends, regulatory news, and macroeconomic uncertainty. However, correlations shift—BTC sometimes mirrors risk-on assets like tech stocks during liquidity surges but decouples during crises. Its volatility exceeds traditional assets, attracting traders but deterring conservative investors. As institutional adoption grows, Bitcoin’s relationship with markets evolves, blurring lines between crypto and mainstream finance. Whether a hedge or high-risk bet, BTC remains a market disruptor.
