Since the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) has faced a serious challenge to maintain its position as a safe financial haven; while investing in the gold market has set a new record with an influx of 80 billion dollars. According to Bank of America data released on April 15, gold is experiencing its best performance since 2013. Increasing trade tensions between China and the United States have led investors to lean towards gold rather than Bitcoin. The price of gold reached nearly $3,300 per ounce on April 16, with a year-to-date return of 22%, outperforming all other major assets. On the other hand, Bitcoin has failed to register a significant price performance. Despite the launch of spot ETFs in the US, the BTC/USD trading pair plummeted to its lowest level in five months in early April. According to Glassnode data, the value of assets under management in Bitcoin ETFs has also decreased from $106 billion at the beginning of the year to $92 billion. Although gold set 52 new historical records last year, some analysts like Peter Brandt believe that this precious metal is nearing the end of its bullish trend. However, according to a common theory among market analysts, Bitcoin usually follows the price trend of gold with a few months delay. Entrepreneur and renowned investor Anthony Pompliano also stated in an interview with CNBC that after gold’s growth, Bitcoin usually enters a more volatile phase of upward movement.
