BTC outperforms gold, stocks within two months of global crisis, analysis finds

Bitcoin has historically outperformed gold and U.S. stocks within two months of a global crisis, according to an analysis by Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's largest cryptocurrency exchange. In a recent report covered by CoinDesk, the exchange explained that while BTC tends to decline in the initial stages of a global crisis, its speed and magnitude of recovery have been unparalleled. Mercado noted that even amid the current U.S.-Iran conflict, BTC has maintained its growth, whereas gold has fallen 11% and the S&P 500 has dropped 4.4%.
