Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 10 — According to CoinDesk, the recent decline of Bitcoin to around $60,000 resembles a correction in high-growth tech stocks rather than a traditional safe-haven pattern familiar to gold investors. This suggests that Bitcoin at this stage still functions more like an emerging technology asset rather than a mature store of value. Although Bitcoin’s fixed supply and decentralized network characteristics could make it a long-term store of value, its 17-year history is still far shorter than gold’s thousands of years as a currency.
Grayscale believes that the advancement of stablecoin and tokenized asset regulation, innovation in blockchain infrastructure, and the development of platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink are expected to drive the next phase of adoption for Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Additionally, if Bitcoin can address scalability, transaction fees, and quantum resistance issues, its volatility may decrease, its correlation with the stock market could weaken, and its future performance might resemble “digital gold.”
