Gold is stealing the spotlight while Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to keep up. According to JPMorgan analysts, investors invest in gold, considering the asset a store of value during these uncertain times. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is being left behind. Investors Choose Gold in Times of Uncertainty In a new report, JPMorgan analysts, Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, explained that more investors are buying gold. This is especially true of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures contracts, which are common investment products that allow investors to invest in gold without needing to hold physical gold. The main reason for this is fear. As the global economy becomes more uncertain , investors are looking for safer places to put their money. Gold and strong currencies like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen have become a preferred choice. From January to March 2025, global gold ETFs saw $21.1 billion in new investments. Of that, $2.3 billion came from China and Hong Kong alone. That is a strong sign of growing interest in gold across Asia. Gold Leads the Debasement Trade Over Bitcoin When people worry about the value of money going down, known as currency debasement, they often look for assets that can hold their value. Right now, gold is leading the charge. JPMorgan says it is the main winner in this “debasement trade.” Earlier this month, the analysts also pointed out that $62,000 is a key price level for Bitcoin. That is about how much it costs to mine a new Bitcoin, and this level could act as strong support if prices fall. Bitcoin Gets Left Behind While gold shines, Bitcoin is not enjoying the same momentum from investors. Instead of gaining, Bitcoin ETFs have recorded massive outflows for the past three months. Although the crypto investment product saw a strong inflow in the first quarter of 2025 , there is less trading in Bitcoin futures, which shows falling interest from speculators, the people who usually help drive Bitcoin prices up. JPMorgan’s analysts said Bitcoin is not getting the same “safe haven” demand as gold. Even though some still call Bitcoin “digital gold, ” that narrative seems weaker now. According to CoinMarketCap data, Bitcoin is trading at around $84,754 at the time of writing, up by 1.18% in the last 24 hours. Despite this modest gain, the digital asset still lags behind gold in terms of demand and investor trust.
