$BTC First Full-Year Split From Stocks in Over a Decade
Bitcoin has broken from its long-standing correlation with equities, marking its first full-year divergence from stocks in over a decade.
The shift highlights a growing disconnect between crypto and traditional markets, raising questions about Bitcoin’s role in the current cycle.
A Historic Market Decoupling
Bitcoin and stocks have historically moved in tandem. However, that relationship appears to have fractured.
According to Bloomberg data, the S&P 500 has climbed more than 16% this year while Bitcoin is down 3%, marking the first such split since 2014.
Such a clean break is unusual even by crypto standards, prompting renewed scrutiny of Bitcoin’s role within global markets. The divergence challenges expectations that regulatory optimism and institutional participation would automatically translate into sustained performance.
It is especially striking given the broader environment, where artificial intelligence stocks are soaring, capital spending is accelerating, and investors are pouring back into equities. At the same time, traditional defensive assets are attracting attention, suggesting investors are reallocating rather than broadly embracing risk.
