Binance Labs backs BounceBit for Bitcoin restaking and CeDeFi revolution

Cryptocurrencies have continued their remarkable rally this year, outperforming traditional assets like stocks and commodities. Bitcoin has jumped by 57% in 2024, beating the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index, which is up by only 7.25%.

Cryptocurrencies are thriving

Most notably, cryptocurrencies have beaten gold even as it trades at its all-time high. And most analysts now predict that the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) will have more assets than the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD), which has over $56 billion in assets. IBIT has added about $13 billion in about two months.

Token sales are also doing well. As we have written recently, Bitcoin Dogs has raised over $9 million in the past 30 days, making it the fastest-growing token sale this year. BitBot, another token, is about to raise over $1 million.

The trend in the cryptocurrency market is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. For one, there is the rising demand for Bitcoin from institutional investors. In a Tweet, Bill Ackman, the respected billionaire, said that he may consider investing in Bitcoin.

The other evidence that institutions are doing well is that there is strong inflows in most Bitcoin ETFs. The only fund that is not doing well is the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which has lost substantial sums of money because of its high fees.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin halving is expected to happen in April, which will lead to more supply challenges. Other coins like Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic, and Bitcoin SV will also have their halving soon. 

The other catalyst for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is the possibility that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve a spot Ethereum ETF this year. That ETF will likely see more institutional demand at a time when Ethereum supply is waning. 

BitBot token sale is doing well

All these factors, coupled with the potential easing cycle by the Federal Reserve and other central banks means that BitBot will likely see more inflows. 

BitBot, as you can see in this white paper, is a cryptocurrency project that seeks to become a major player in the Telegram bot market.

The developers aim to provide a Telegram bot that will send accurate signals to traders from around the world. 

This is a highly competitive market, with the number of these bots expected to con

What to know:

  • A study by Mercado Bitcoin found that bitcoin tends to outperform traditional safe-haven assets like gold in the 2 months following major global crises.
  • The study analyzed 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks and found that bitcoin posted stronger returns than gold and the S&P 500 in each period.
  • Despite its volatility, bitcoin has consistently bounced back after crises and has been the best-performing asset of the past decade, according to the study’s author, Rony Szuster.

Bitcoin tends to outperform traditional safe haven assets like gold in the two months following major global crises, according to new analysis from Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin.

The study, led by Rony Szuster, head of research at the Latin American crypto platform, examined 60-day windows after economic or geopolitical shocks such as the COVID-19 outbreak and U.S. tariff escalations. Bitcoin posted stronger returns than both gold and the S&P 500 in each of the periods analyzed.

In April last year, after the Trump administration announced sweeping tariffs, the price of bitcoin jumped 24% over the following 60 days. Gold rose 8%, and the S&P 500 gained 4%, the firm found.

A similar pattern emerged at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, when BTC rose 21%, while the other assets trailed.

Szuster cautioned that judging bitcoin’s performance too soon after a crisis can be misleading.

“It’s like watching the first few minutes of a movie and thinking you already know how it ends,” he said. “In moments like this, investors sell positions to reduce risk or raise cash, and even defensive assets can fall.”

That happens as investors scramble for liquidity, yet bitcoin has consistently bounced back, the firm found. The pattern appears to be repeating in the current U.S.-Iran conflict, where bitcoin is the only one of the three assets in positive territory so far, according to Szuster.

Data backs this up. Since the war started, bitcoin has risen by more than 2.2%, from around $65,800 to $67,300 at the time of writing. Gold, the traditional safe haven, has meanwhile dropped around 11%, while the S&P lost 4.4% of its value in the index’s steepest monthly drop since 2022.

Despite its volatility, bitcoin was the best-performing asset over the past decade, he added.
