As the pioneer of blockchain technology, Bitcoin continues to lead the market as the ultimate digital gold. Its finite supply of 21 million coins provides a hedge against the inflationary pressures of fiat currencies, a characteristic that has recently drawn significant interest from corporate treasuries and pension funds. The launch of spot ETFs in the US has further legitimised Bitcoin as a staple asset class within the global financial market.
