Bitcoin Becomes the Best-Performing Asset Class in Q1, 2023

Bitcoin has emerged as the top-performing asset class in Q1 2023, with gains of about 70%, making it the digital currency’s best quarter since Q1 2021. This outperformed big names like the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF. Bitcoin's gains have also surpassed those of gold and silver in the first three months of 2023.

  • Heatwave

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.
