Bitcoin could be maturing as a solid digital asset, away from the wild rocket of speculative cycles. Key opinion leaders believe this is BTC behaving like a “normal” asset.
For the first time since post 2023 rally, Bitcoin seems to have underperformed gold, S&P 500 and Nasdaq in the past 12 months. Current trade wars fuelled by Trump tariffs have led to crash of global economies without leaving the digital assets behind. According to market analyst, Vlad Hryniv on CoinMarketCap, the following are each asset’s performance in the past year.
🔹 BTC 1Y return: 23.6%
🔹 Nasdaq: 33.5%
🔹 S&P 500: 33.9%
🔹 Gold: 69.7%
However, despite the recent market crash, the analyst noted that;
‘What we’re seeing isn’t just a cooldown — it might be the end of Bitcoin’s speculative cycles. Volatility is compressing, return curves flattening, and BTC is starting to act… normal?”
Bitcoin is acting normal
Like most traditional assets, Bitcoin could be geared up for less wild runs, noise and volatility amid mass adoption. This new era would mean less speculation and more respect for a stable digital asset with less speculation.
