As inflation rates surge worldwide in 2025, investors are turning their attention once again to Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation. With central banks in the U.S., Europe, and Asia raising interest rates and tightening monetary policies, the economic landscape has become more volatile than ever.
The IMF reports that global inflation is expected to average 6.8% this year, compared to 4.2% in 2024. Developing countries are experiencing even higher rates, with Argentina at 48% and Turkey at 36%.
Bitcoin surged past $60,000 again in April 2025, following an uptick in institutional demand and renewed concerns over fiat instability. With supply capped at 21 million, Bitcoin remains attractive to those looking to store value.
"Bitcoin is no longer just a speculative asset; it's now part of long-term portfolios," says investment strategist Dr. Hannah Kim. "Its correlation with inflation is stronger than ever."
