Bitcoin could become an inflation hedge if trade tensions erode the U.S. dollar’s global supremacy, according to Messari analysis. The cryptocurrency is currently closely tied to the S&P 500, but long-term decoupling may be on the horizon. Financial leaders like BlackRock’s CEO have expressed concerns about the dollar losing its reserve status to Bitcoin.
