Gold’s historic rally has taken the precious metal to new highs and has outpaced Bitcoin in recent weeks. Spot gold topped $3,000 an ounce for the first time. Gold futures for April delivery also briefly topped $3,000 on Thursday.
Gold’s Historic Rally Outpaces Bitcoin’s, But Trend Could Reverse
The yellow metal is tipped to gain over 15% in 2025, driven by market volatility due to strong ETF inflows, geopolitical uncertainty and tariff concerns linked to former US President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, gold priced in British pounds has yet to reach its all-time high of £2,363 an ounce and is currently trading £300 below that level.
While gold has benefited from massive investor interest, bitcoin has struggled with outflows. The two assets have seen sharply opposing ETF moves, according to Charlie Morris, founder of ByTree and manager of BOLD ETF, which tracks both gold and bitcoin.
“In the last 30 days, gold ETFs have attracted $10 billion in inflows while Bitcoin ETFs have lost $5 billion,” Morris said.
Despite the current trend, he predicts the market will reverse. “Sooner or later, the flows will reverse again, as they always do,” Morris added.
Gold's rally comes as investors seek safe havens amid global economic uncertainty, while Bitcoin has been on a choppy track as analysts debate whether it will regain momentum or continue to face selling pressure.
For now, gold is taking center stage but if history is any indication, Bitcoin could be poised for a strong comeback.
