The unveiling of President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariff had led to an erasure of the US stock market of $ 5.4 Billions of dollars in just two days while the S&P 500 index fell to its lowest level in 11 months and the NASDAQ 100 entered the bear market territory.
However, in the middle of chaos, cryptocurrency prices display resilience, Bitcoin (BTC) fell approximately 6% since the prices were revealed, compared to the 11% drop in NASDAQ. The wider market of cryptography, as measured by the Coindesk 20 index (CD20), dropped approximately 4.9% over the same period.
To put the sales figures in perspective, the total market capitalization of cryptography is approximately 2.65 billions of dollars, according to Theie data. During the last 24 -hour period, Bitcoin dropped 0.3% to $ 82,619.77, while the wider CD20 increased by approximately 0.2%. Friday at the closing of the market, most of the actions related to the crypto also dropped, but some have really increased.
Bitcoin Miner Mara Holdings (Mara) increased by 0.6%, while Core Scientific (CORZ) experienced an increase of 0.4%. Strategy (MSTR), the largest Bitcoin business holder with 528,185 BTC on his balance sheet, increased by 4%. Friday, he outperformed the Nasdaq, which plunged 5.8%.
The prices of cryptocurrencies should remain resilient. Given their accessibility through traditional investment products, including negotiated stocks (ETF) funds, and their performance, they could be “useful as a tradfi hedge”, according to Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Charterd.
“In the last 36 hours, I think we can also add” us isolation “coverage to the list of Bitcoin uses”, wrote Kendrick in an e-mail dated April 4, adding a graph showing that among the magnificent 7 actions, only Microsoft surpassed the BTC during the sale.
Resilience also arrives when the cryptographic community celebrated the alleged anniversary of the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. The date is based on the profile of the Bitcoin designer with the P2P Foundation.
The date, some speculate, is not real but rather symbolic. He coincides with the anniversary of Decree 6102, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on April 5, 1933. The order obliged the Americans to transform their gold into the Federal Reserve.
