Bitcoin has surged over 19% in just over a month, breaking above $80,000 amid rising inflation signals like high oil prices and commodity indexes. Traditionally, rising inflation and higher interest rates would pressure Bitcoin as investors favor safer assets, but Bitcoin's rally suggests it may be transitioning from a risk asset to an inflation hedge. This shift is supported by $4.45 billion inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs since March and endorsements from notable investors like Paul Tudor Jones. However, Bitcoin's correlation with rising U.S. equities complicates the narrative; the true test will come if Bitcoin holds or rises during a stock market downturn, confirming its inflation hedge status.
