For most of Bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s life, it\u2019s been a pitched as an asset uncorrelated from the stock market and other traditional equities. It’s been a strong selling point for institutional investors seeking to add variety or even derisk their portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, over the last couple of weeks, with the coronavirus outbreak<\/a> causing a panic selloff of epic proportions, Bitcoin has suddenly shown a correlation with the stock market.<\/span><\/p>\n

And more recently, the correlation has become so significant, Bitcoin<\/a> and the S&P 500, one of the most important stock indexes to the US economy, are showing an uncanny, minute-by-minute similarity.<\/span><\/p>\n
