21Shares: If Bitcoin continues to decouple from Nasdaq, it may be favored by institutional investors seeking to avoid U.S. stocks

According to CoinDesk, after the Nasdaq index plunged 6% on Thursday, it fell another 5% during Friday's trading session. However, Bitcoin prices have remained around $83,000, outperforming related stocks in the crypto industry such as Strategy. Since President Trump announced his tariff plan on Wednesday night, Bitcoin prices have only fallen by 3.5%.

David Hernandez, a crypto investment expert at digital asset management company 21Shares stated that Bitcoin has shown impressive resilience and has solidified its position as a hedging tool during periods of macroeconomic stress. If this decoupling continues, it could indicate that BTC will increasingly be favored by institutional investors seeking to avoid turbulent stock markets.
