Determinants of Bitcoin’s Performance
Determinants of Bitcoin’s Performance tackles one of the market’s most important and poorly answered questions: what actually drives Bitcoin’s major advances, drawdowns, and departures from fundamental value? Rather than relying on familiar narratives about halvings, liquidity, speculation, or sentiment, this research subjects competing explanations to a rigorous empirical test using a rolling factor attribution framework and an adoption-based valuation benchmark. The result is a detailed map of how Bitcoin’s economic drivers have changed across market regimes, which explanations hold up under scrutiny, and which factors matter most in the current environment. For investors trying to understand where Bitcoin is in its cycle and what could move it next, this report replaces narrative with evidence.
