Bitcoin has surged over 20% to $75,000 amid the ongoing U.S. and Israel military strike on Iran, outperforming traditional safe-haven assets like gold. While gold initially rose to $5,423, it later fell to around $5,020, marking two consecutive weeks of losses. The conflict has disrupted oil supplies, driving inflation and impacting interest rate expectations, which in turn have suppressed gold prices.
Bitcoin's rise is attributed to several factors, including a technical rebound from oversold conditions, its 24/7 trading capability, and significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, with over $1.34 billion in March alone. Additionally, Bitcoin's portability during wartime has made it a preferred asset for those seeking to move wealth across borders. This divergence highlights Bitcoin's unique position as a liquidity pool during market closures, rather than a traditional safe-haven asset.
