ChainCatcher news, according to Crowdfundinsider, the latest research report from the New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) points out that amidst the current economic uncertainty, Bitcoin is beginning to exhibit characteristics of a non-sovereign store of value.The report mentions that since the so-called "Trump Liberation Day" on April 2, 2025, the US dollar and long-term US Treasury bonds have performed poorly, while gold, the Swiss franc, and Bitcoin have gained favor in the market. While the US stock market has declined, Bitcoin has risen 10.3%, indicating a trend of decoupling from traditional risk assets.NYDIG emphasizes that although this trend is still in its early stages, current data is insufficient to confirm that Bitcoin's role as a safe-haven asset has been widely accepted by the market. However, considering the current structural volatility in the market and the weakening confidence in traditional safe-haven assets, Bitcoin may become one of the choices for investors seeking alternative stores of value.
