Bitcoin Outperforms Traditional Safe Havens Amid Geopolitical Tensions
- Bitcoin has gained approximately 6% since the Iran crisis began, surpassing gold and equities.
- Rising U.S. Treasury yields indicate a decline in investor confidence in traditional safe havens.
- Institutional inflows into digital asset products have been positive for three consecutive weeks, totaling $500 million this week alone.
Bitcoin’s rise amidst geopolitical tensions highlights its appeal as a non-sovereign, censorship-resistant asset, especially as investors pull back from traditional safe havens like U.S. Treasuries.
Despite a daily dip of 0.8%, Bitcoin remains up since the geopolitical conflict began, underscoring its resilience and attractiveness to institutional investors during times of crisis.
