Bitcoin is currently exhibiting a peculiar behavior. For a long time, Bitcoin failed to replicate gold’s exceptional performance in 2025. The gold price is showing a return of 32.85% this year, while Bitcoin has had to settle for a decline of -6.69%. However, we are currently seeing an interesting turnaround.
Bitcoin is breaking away
Bitcoin is currently breaking away from the traditional financial market.
While Bitcoin was recently on par with the Nasdaq 100 (American tech exchange), that is no longer the case. While the Nasdaq and other American stock indices continued to fall yesterday, Bitcoin has risen again.
The digital currency is not yet at the level most investors hoped for, certainly not after the all-time high of $109,000 reached on January 20, 2025. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see that Bitcoin is beginning to fulfill its status as a potential store of value.
It seems that the market is also beginning to recognize that Bitcoin could be a kind of digital version of gold. And that is exactly what the digital currency needs to force its final breakthrough on the global financial stage.
Altcoins Lose While Bitcoin Gains
What is also striking today is that most altcoins are experiencing sharp declines. Basically, we see most altcoins falling along with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.
If this continues for a while, it will also wake up many pure crypto investors and make them feel that Bitcoin is the main focus.
At least for now. The rest of the crypto market, of course, doesn’t function as digital gold and has to rely on other applications. However, these applications aren’t as popular at the moment, and we can see this in the price behavior of virtually all coins.
Is this also the moment when Bitcoin finally separates itself from the rest of the crypto market?
