Bitcoin tends to outperform gold and stocks after global shocks Mercado Bitcoin finds

In the two months after major global crises, new analysis from Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin shows that Bitcoin tends to outperform traditional safe haven assets such as gold.

Rony Szuster, head of research at the Latin American crypto platform, led the study that looked at 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks like the COVID-19 outbreak and U.S. S, meanwhile. Tariff hikers escalations of tariffs. The returns were more positive than gold and the S&P 500 in each of the periods analysed by Bitcoin, which had a higher return than both bitcoin’s original coinage.

After the Trump administration announced sweeping tariffs, bitcoin’s price rose 24% over next 60 days in April last year. A stock of gold jumped 8%, and the S&P 500 4%; the firm found its own.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, when BTC jumped 21% (a similar pattern was observed at the beginning of this period), and the other assets followed.

Szuster cautioned that judging bitcoin’s performance too soon after a crisis can be misleading.

he said ‘It’s like watching the opening couple of minutes of a movie and thinking you already know how it ends. Often like this, investors sell positions to reduce risk or raise cash and even defensive assets can fall into decline. Paraphrast.

The company found bitcoin has consistently bounced back, but that’s what means when investors scramble for liquidity. It seems like the pattern is repeating itself in the current U.S. S, meanwhile. In a positive territory so far, Szuster said bitcoin is the only one of three assets in positive land — “the war between parodyrs and Iran conflict,” according to S Zuster.

Data supports this up-up. bitcoin, which has increased more than 2. per cent since the war began and by over two years since it was founded on Bitcoin (as of today’s coinage) 2% (about $65,800 to $67,300 at the time of writing) and. The traditional safe haven Gold, which has meanwhile dropped about 11% while the S&P lost 44%. In the index’s steepest monthly drop since 2022, 4% of its value is from it’–the lowest month in history.

Despite its volatility, bitcoin was the best-performing asset over the past decade, he added.
