On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated that a U.S.-China trade deal could take years. Bitcoin is up 2.6% over the past 24 hours and is up 12.2% to an all-time high of $93,600 over the past week. The large cryptocurrency index CoinDesk 20 rose 4.2%. Sui, Cardano, and Chainlink all saw double-digit gains. Although Bitcoin has been strong in recent days, the performance of crypto stocks has also begun to cool down as the day has fallen. BTC futures funds recorded net inflows of nearly $1.3 billion, their strongest one-day performance in two weeks. Analysts believe that this reflects the enthusiasm of institutional investors for the upcoming introduction of a new monetary and political order. On the other hand, the price of gold slipped 2.5% today, rising 35% from the past four months to $3,290 an ounce, suggesting that the market may be transitioning from the most uncertain period. Bitcoin has parted ways with risky assets to some extent and is now being rehearsed for the fact that BTC is “digital gold”. If risk assets weaken further after this, bitcoin will become an effective hedge against monetary easing.
