BTC’s Haven Claim as US, China plays tariff chicken

By James Van Straten (all the time and unless otherwise indicated)

One thing the markets hate is uncertainty, and it is now coming from all corners of the world, mainly burning Trump’s tariffs.

The markets rebounded on Tuesday following Monday of blood in Asia and Europe, but it was more of a rally rally than a real recovery. In the middle of the conflict is the US and ChinaBoth refuse to be the first blink – though meaning prolonged uncertainty and illness for global markets.

As the markets breathed from the chaos, the cryptors in the crypto quickly pointed out how Bitcoin’s (BTC )’s (BTC) was a safe narrative – which was strengthened by its stability last week – it was quickly opened on Monday when the price fell to $ 75,000.

While that is true, hope that the price of bitcoin will remain unaffected will be very optimistic. In the crisis of historical investors in a hurry to cash, the rolling even traditional investments of havens such as gold. Monday is no exception. However, Bitcoin has shown lower beta than US equality since the tariff announcement.

In the larger picture, bitcoin holds well. NASDAQ has dropped more than 22% from all times high, while Bitcoin is at 28%. In previous stages-like Yen Carry-Trade Unwind in August 2024 or the Covid crash in March 2020-Bitcoin suffered a deeper losses.

Since the New York market was closed on Wednesday, the BTC refused 8.4%, raising the 10% S&P 500 collapse and the 11% NASDAQ collapse.

“What matters is that the BTC beta on greater risk properties appears to be lower in this sale than the previous ones. It suggests a growing recognition of Bitcoin’s potential role as a non-sovereign store of value during periods of economic stress,” David Lawant, head of Falconx research, said in an email.

Monday’s trading session also included a stage of “short-term madness” driven by false reports about 90-day tariff delay. The markets were spiked and then immediately collapsed back after the reports were rejected. Stay alert!
