When the Asia-Pacific stock markets hit the circuit breaker, why does Bitcoin stand out as the best?
Author: Jae, PANews
On March 4th, as the situation in the Middle East suddenly worsened, global financial markets instantly entered a "wartime state." For global investors, this was a trading day worthy of being recorded in history.

KOSPI in South Korea plummeted 12% in a single day, marking the largest decline in history; the Nikkei 225 dropped 3.7%, its worst performance in five months; Middle Eastern local stock markets once tumbled nearly 5% amid a correction; major European and American stock indices closed lower across the board.
However, an unusual phenomenon quietly emerged amid this sell-off.
