“Bitcoin gaining attention again amid global chaos…Emerging as an alternative to inflation hedge”

Amid growing global economic, political, and geopolitical uncertainty, an analysis has emerged that Bitcoin is once again attracting investor attention. In the recent tariff shock and global fragmentation trend, the structural characteristics of Bitcoin, namely decentralization and supply limitation, are being highlighted.

On the 8th (local time), Ryan Lee, the chief analyst of cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, stated, “The current global macro environment is engulfed in complex instability,” diagnosing that “trust in the fiat currency system is being shaken due to political uncertainty, weakening government functions, and intensifying trade disputes.”

He explained, “In this turmoil, Bitcoin's scarcity and decentralized structure are attracting attention,” and “Bitcoin's charm as a means to complement the flaws of the fiat-currency-based system and defend against inflation is increasing.”

However, he warned of the high volatility of cryptocurrencies, adding, “Bitcoin is not a panacea, but within a flexible and balanced portfolio, it can sufficiently play a role in responding to international uncertainty.”

Amid various external factors, such as the recent imposition of high tariffs by the United States, uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's interest rate stance, and heightened geopolitical tensions, overlapping to increase tension across the asset market as a whole, Bitcoin is again being highlighted as a ‘digital haven’.
