Safe Haven vs. Digital Gold: Why the Dollar and Bitcoin Are Rising Together
On May 23, 2025, the US Dollar surged to a nearly five-week high amid global economic uncertainties, driven by its status as a safe haven currency. The Dollar Index (DXY) rose to 105.73, reflecting investor concerns over inflation and geopolitical instability. Major currencies weakened against the dollar, with significant impacts noted in the euro, yen, and Indian rupee. Concurrently, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $82,450, fueled by institutional demand and optimism for regulatory clarity. The simultaneous rise of both the dollar and Bitcoin highlights evolving investor strategies, as both are beginning to coexist in diversified portfolios amidst market volatility.
