According to Richard Teng, Bitcoin has demonstrated significant trading strength in 2025, posting double-digit gains after key global events. BTC is now outperforming traditional safe-haven assets like gold as well as major equity indices including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq year-to-date (source: @_RichardTeng, Twitter, May 13, 2025). This strong momentum reinforces Bitcoin’s status as a leading alternative asset for traders seeking higher volatility and returns compared to conventional markets. The current trend may signal continued capital rotation from equities and commodities into crypto, especially during periods of macroeconomic uncertainty.
