Bitcoin is beating stocks and gold as the Middle East conflict rattles global markets

Bitcoin has outperformed precious metals and U.S. equities since the war in Iran first began, softening sentiment after a rough start to the year.

What to know:

Bitcoin has climbed 3.5% since the conflict began, while traditional "safe havens" like gold and silver have dropped 5% and 12%, respectively.

The return of the "Coinbase premium" and steady spot ETF inflows suggest that large-scale U.S. investors are viewing current price levels as an attractive entry point.

The rally is being supported by a "cleaner" market; recent data shows that risky, high-leverage bets have been cleared out, leaving the floor open for more stable, spot-driven demand.

To read more editions, subscribe ​​“The most valuable commodity I know of is information.” — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street Ten months ago, FBI agents raided Shayne Coplan’s Manhattan apartment, ostensibly in search of evidence that the prediction market he founded, Polymarket, had illegally allowed US residents to place bets on the US election. Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
