Bitcoin Proving Its Worth Once Again

2022 was undoubtedly a down year for the digital asset industry as a whole. Specifically, as macroeconomic factors had taken their toll on the finance sector, it was crypto that suffered. Yet, as those same problems have persisted this year, the same can’t be said for the performance of the crypto market.

Subsequently, data compiled by Finbold has shown that Bitcoin (BTC) has outperformed five major stock indexes in Q1 of 2023. Moreover, the digital asset has seen a return on investment of 170.32%, more than those indexes, in a clear sign of its investment viability.

Among those indexes observed, NASDAQ Composite (IXIC) saw the highest returns of 17.39%. Conversely, S&P 500 (SPX) was at 6.36%, US Small Cap 2000 (RUT) was next at 2.51%, and FTSE 100 (FTSE) followed at 0.99%. Finally, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was the fifth-ranked index, with a return of merely 0.56%.

Although there are a plethora of reasons for Bitcoin’s dominance, chief among them is likely the budding banking crisis. Consequently, the troubles in the banking sector have led investors to seek out decentralized finance as an alternative option. Thus, leading to the digital assets’ positive performance relative to traditional stock options.
