International news agency Bloomberg has issued a report called "Bitcoin Maturation Leap" in which reviewed the position of bitcoin (EXANTE: Bitcoin) in the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin Futures Volume in Bakkt and CME Drops in March

According to the report, the stock market's volatility triggered by the coronavirus pandemic outrage affected the price of bitcoin and the whole crypto market.

"This year marks a key test for Bitcoin's transition toward a quasi-currency like gold, and we expect it to pass," Bloomberg said in the report.

Even though bitcoin lost approximately 28% in March, it lost only 6% on an annualized basis.

The agency says the increase of open interest in futures, declining volatility and relative out performance despite the stock-market shakeout indicates bitcoin "is maturing from a speculative crypto asset toward a digital version of gold."
