Bank for International Settlements Report: Bitcoin has become a hedging option during economic downturns, with global usage rising against the trend.

The latest report (BIS) the Bank for International Settlements notes that Bitcoin usage rises significantly when inflation soars, remittances become expensive, and capital controls increase. (Synopsis: Michael Saylor explains why bitcoin has not broken new highs: the market is going through a "chip rotation" and institutions are sucking chips from the hands of the unbelieved) (Background supplement: Trump will sign an executive order to end the "debanking" policy of cryptocurrencies, does Taiwan have a chance to keep up? At a time when the global economy is generally facing uncertainty, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), known as the "central bank of central banks", released a new report that found that when the traditional financial system is under pressure, the use of bitcoin has shown a significant upward trend, which seems to indirectly confirm the role of bitcoin as a "digital safe haven". Bitcoin usage bucks the trend under economic pressure By analyzing Bitcoin's on-chain transaction data, the number of active addresses, and user holding behavior, the BIS report clearly points out that during periods of economic stress, Bitcoin's trading activity, especially the increase in on-chain activity and the shortening of the average holding time (meaning more frequent changes of hands and use), have clearly and visibly increased. This finding poses a strong challenge to the previous view that Bitcoin is only a pro-cyclical asset. Bitcoin's safe-haven potential and market positioning Safe-haven assets in the traditional sense, such as gold or country-specific sovereign bonds, are often sought after by investors in times of market turmoil or economic uncertainty, because they are generally considered to be a good store of value or hedge against potential risks, and whether Bitcoin really has the characteristics of a "safe-haven asset" has been the focus of market discussions. Although the BIS report does not directly define Bitcoin as a traditional safe-haven asset, such a credible global top financial institution has confirmed Bitcoin's special market performance and counter-cyclical growth pattern in a specific economic pressure environment through solid data, which undoubtedly provides a new interpretation dimension for understanding its market performance. However, we must also be soberly aware that challenges and uncertainties remain the main theme of the cryptocurrency market. Especially in the context of the increasingly complex and changeable global economic landscape, the future evolution path of the Bitcoin market remains to be continuously and carefully observed.
