Grayscale: Bitcoin Surges 104.8% As Traditional Asset Classes Sink -0.5%

by Daily Hodl Staff
August 12, 2019
in Bitcoin

New research from digital asset management fund Grayscale looks at Bitcoin’s trajectory since US President Donald Trump first announced the tariff hike in May as the US-China trade war has continued to escalate. The researchers compare the performance of BTC against 20 other asset classes, markets and currencies to analyze whether the world’s leading cryptocurrency is holding up as a hedge.

“While the risk asset drawdown is still in its early stages, we’re already witnessing Bitcoin’s price move higher. Specifically, Bitcoin has generated a cumulative return of 104.8% between May 5 — when tariff hikes were announced — and August 7, compared to an average drawdown of -0.5% for the other asset classes we analyzed over the same period…

There are significant shifts taking place in monetary, fiscal, and trade policies around the world that will likely impact global markets well into the future. While we don’t know when or at what levels the current drawdown will end, it is clear that the challenges faced by politicians and policymakers will be difficult to manage given the complexity of our global financial system. Bitcoin could be a useful tool in helping investors insulate their portfolios from any failure to manage these problems effectively.”

The researchers indicate that investors are unaware of the frequency of global financial crises and how they impact the markets.

“Financial crises are becoming more common and global…Unfortunately, these broad-based drawdowns in asset prices happen with greater frequency than most investors realize.

The authors conclude that Bitcoin “is on the rise as these risks are just beginning to show up in other asset and currency prices.”
