Digital Assets Outshine Traditional Stocks in Market Performance Index

Bitcoin Outperforms Tesla in Standard Chartered's Magnificent 7 Index

In a surprising turn of events, Bitcoin has emerged as the top performer in Standard Chartered's Magnificent 7 index, outpacing even the mighty Tesla. The index, which tracks the performance of seven alternative assets, has been a closely watched indicator of the rapidly evolving digital asset landscape.

According to the latest data, Bitcoin has returned an impressive 115% over the past 12 months, far outstripping the second-place finisher, Tesla, which returned a respectable 50%. Rounding out the top three were Ethereum and Gold, which returned 45% and 35%, respectively.

The Magnificent 7 index, which was launched in 2020, is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the alternative asset class. In addition to Bitcoin, Tesla, and Ethereum, the index also tracks the performance of other digital assets, including Gold, Oil, and the US Dollar.

The outperformance of Bitcoin is a significant development, as it suggests that the digital currency is increasingly being viewed as a viable alternative asset class. This is particularly noteworthy given the recent volatility in the global financial markets, which has led many investors to seek out alternative sources of returns.

"It's no secret that Bitcoin has been a hot topic of late," said a Standard Chartered spokesperson. "But what's really impressive is the way it's performed in our Magnificent 7 index. It's clear that investors are increasingly looking to alternative assets as a way to diversify their portfolios and hedge against market volatility."

The outperformance of Bitcoin is likely to be welcomed news by investors who have been looking to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on the growing popularity of digital assets. As the alternative asset class continues to evolve and mature, it will be interesting to see how Bitcoin and other digital assets perform in the months and years ahead.
