Bitcoin Surges While U.S. Markets Show Fatigue – Coincu

Bitcoin’s significant surge in May 2025 marks a pivotal moment for cryptocurrency investors amidst global economic uncertainties.

As traditional markets like U.S. real estate and automobile sectors exhibit fatigue, Bitcoin emerges as a favored asset class. Investors seeking safe havens instigate a substantial $5.5 billion ETF inflow, overshadowing gold ETF allocations.

Bitcoin’s 11.1% May Surge Amidst Economic Strain

Bitcoin rose by 11.1% in May 2025, reaching a new high of $112,000, according to ARK Invest’s report. This occurred as U.S. real estate and auto markets showed signs of fatigue.

ARK Invest believes Bitcoin’s ascent reflects investor interest in safe-haven assets amid economic strain, with ETF inflows suggesting reassessment strategies.

“Bitcoin’s rise was not accompanied by speculative frenzy, and ETF fund inflow reached $5.5 billion, three times that of gold ETFs in the same period, indicating that investors may regard Bitcoin as a safe-haven asset rather than a hype tool, and make rational asset reallocation under economic pressure.” — Cathie Wood, CEO, ARK Invest
