Bitcoin is showing potential as a store of value during times of “US-risk-off” sentiment, marking a shift in its relationship with traditional assets, per NYDIG. BTC has decoupled from traditional risk assets, gaining over 13% since April 1, while US markets have declined due to trade tensions and tariffs. Gold and Swiss franc are safe havens, with Bitcoin emerging as a non-sovereign store of value.

Investors are seeking safe haven assets amid surging volatility in equities, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates/bonds. Few large, liquid options exist outside traditional financial systems, with gold holding a $22 trillion market cap compared to Bitcoin’s $1.8 trillion. Bitcoin is unique in focusing solely on monetary/store of value use cases, unlike other crypto assets.

Despite recent gains, Bitcoin’s market shows few signs of overheating, with recovery still in early stages. BTC’s potential as a store of value is gaining attention amidst global economic uncertainty. Bitcoin’s unique position as a non-sovereign store of value sets it apart from other crypto assets focused on decentralized applications.
