Broker Canaccord also said that the Federal Reserve's two-digit interest rate cut will bring stocks and cryptocurrencies up together. Analyst Michael Graham said that Bitcoin's current performance is still consistent with other risk assets and has a positive response to the low interest rate environment.
Michael Graham said: "We believe that the healthiest response to cryptocurrencies in the long term is a decline in Bitcoin," adding: "Given the reduced need for inflation hedges, investors will be more willing to support long-term investment and innovation .Ethereum and other digital assets will rise along with stocks.”
The report states that the current correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and risk assets is 0.4, which is lower than the historical high of 0.6 in June 2022.

Judging from the trend, it may be difficult for us to identify it as a safe-haven asset because it is still highly correlated with the broader market. However, as stated in BlackRock’s report, Bitcoin has “relatively” not fallen as badly as the S&P 500 in some events, but coupled with some factors, BlackRock believes that Bitcoin is not just a safe-haven asset.
