- JPMorgan analysts now expect Bitcoin to outperform Gold for the remainder of 2025.
- Wall Street firms and tech companies are increasing involvement in the crypto market.
- Experts cite new U.S. crypto regulations and support from Donald Trump as potential growth drivers.
- Bitcoin and gold continue to serve as major hedges amid geopolitical uncertainty.
The price of bitcoin surged back above $100,000 in recent weeks, following significant fluctuations earlier this year. The moves came as U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies on global trade contributed to unpredictable swings in both cryptocurrency and traditional markets.
JPMorgan analysts, led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, reported a “zero sum game” between gold and bitcoin, with capital shifting from one to the other. They now predict bitcoin will likely outperform gold through the rest of 2025. They wrote that “crypto-specific catalysts,” such as new U.S. laws and political support for digital assets, could push bitcoin prices higher.
The same analysts previously warned that bitcoin’s status as “digital gold” had been questioned when its price dropped over 30%, falling from nearly $110,000 to about $75,000 after market volatility driven by trade war concerns. The price has since rebounded, easing concerns among many traders.
Market experts, such as Bill Miller IV from Miller Value Partners, believe the recovery has room to run. Miller told CNBC that bitcoin could surpass gold’s $20 trillion market cap. He said, “If you compare its primary functional use case… we still have a long way to go,” and forecast the possibility of a future price of $1 million per bitcoin.
Gold has also set record highs as investors seek safe havens, though prices decreased as hopes for resolving the trade dispute grew. Gadi Chait, head of investment at Xapo Bank, commented that bitcoin’s market value has returned above $2 trillion, while gold’s price remains over $3,200 per ounce. He noted both assets are now viewed as strong stores of value and hedges against global economic threats.
Wall Street institutions and major tech companies are continuing to increase their involvement in cryptocurrencies. The ongoing passage of pro-crypto regulations and support from major political figures are expected to influence the market further throughout the year.
Bitcoin and gold remain prominent as investors look for reliable options in times of geopolitical change. Both assets continue to attract attention as strategies for safeguarding wealth during unpredictable market conditions.
