Bitcoin outperforms other financial assets after Trump election
Bitcoin outperforms traditional assets despite 23% pullback from all-time high.
Bitcoin’s recent pullback has not deterred its performance relative to traditional assets.
Currently trading at approximately $82,565—down 23% from its all-time high of over $109,000 recorded on January 20 during President Donald Trump’s inauguration—BTC has still outperformed major global segments such as stocks, treasuries, real estate, and precious metals, reports Cointelegraph.
Thomas Fahrer, co-founder of Apollo Sats, noted on X that “Even with the pullback, Bitcoin still outperformed every other asset post election.” Despite market volatility driven by tariffs and fiscal policy uncertainties, industry observers like Aurelie Barthere of Nansen insist that the recent decline is merely a correction within an overall bull market. “Stocks and crypto have realized and are pricing in a period of tariff uncertainty and fiscal cuts, no Fed put. Recession fears are popping up,” Barthere explained.
Surge in ETF Inflows Signals Renewed Optimism
Investor interest in Bitcoin is being bolstered by renewed inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. Data from Sosovalue shows that on March 17, the ETFs recorded over $274 million in cumulative net inflows, the highest daily total since February 4. ETF investments were a major driver of Bitcoin’s rally in 2024, accounting for roughly 75% of new capital as the asset recovered above the $50,000 level.
This surge in ETF activity reflects growing institutional confidence despite ongoing global trade uncertainties. Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, commented, “I don’t see BTC falling below 70K, possibly $73K - $78K, which is a solid time to enter for any buyers on the fence.”
Long-Term Outlook Remains Bullish
Looking ahead, industry leaders remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term potential. Analysts forecast that Bitcoin could climb to between $160,000 and above $180,000 by the end of 2025. This optimistic projection comes as ETF inflows and steady institutional demand suggest that the current correction may be short-lived.
With Bitcoin’s unique properties—scarcity, decentralization, and its role as a digital gold—many investors view it as a safe haven amid global economic uncertainty. As market conditions stabilize and regulatory frameworks evolve, the broader crypto market appears poised for a strong recovery, reaffirming Bitcoin’s status as the leading digital asset.
