The market has been lively lately. Look, everything that should be reaching new all-time highs is doing so, except for one thing—Bitcoin is still right there.

Let's first take a look at the recent performance of major global assets (data as of mid-January 2026):

**On the US stock side**, the S&P 500 index closed at approximately 6,978.36 points on January 9th, setting another historical record. **Gold prices are even more impressive**, with intraday highs reaching about $4,639.42 per ounce. Silver is more astonishing, breaking the $90 per ounce mark for the first time. Even industrial metals like copper are not to be outdone, surpassing $12,000 per ton by the end of 2025 (London Metal Exchange data).

But that’s not the most heartbreaking part. **The total US national debt exceeded $38.4 trillion by the end of 2025**, and the fiscal deficit keeps hitting new highs every month—last December alone, the deficit reached $145 billion, breaking records.

All assets are celebrating, even debt levels are hitting new highs. Now, think about it from another angle—**in the context of various assets taking turns to strengthen, where is the opportunity window for Bitcoin as an alternative asset?** With abundant global liquidity, risk assets rising in turn, and risk-averse sentiment alternating, these factors together seem to be paving the way for the next performance of cryptocurrencies.

The market landscape has changed, and the reasons to increase holdings in crypto assets might be even more compelling than you think.
