Research: After global shocks, Bitcoin's performance tends to outperform gold and stocks
Golden Finance reports that on April 5, a study by Mercado Bitcoin found that within the two months following major global crises, Bitcoin’s performance has often been better than traditional safe-haven assets such as gold.
The study analyzed a 60-day window after economic or geopolitical shocks and found that Bitcoin outperformed both gold and the S&P 500 index in every period.
The data also confirms this. Since the outbreak of war, the price of Bitcoin has risen by more than 2.2%, increasing from about $65,800 to $67,300 at the time of writing. Meanwhile, gold prices—acting as a traditional safe-haven asset—have fallen by about 11%, while the S&P 500 index has dropped by 4.4%, recording the largest monthly decline since 2022.
