Why is gold soaring. not Bitcoin? The ultimate game between hedging properties and currency logic #digitalgoldPKgold

When global capital is looking for a safe haven in the turmoil, gold, an ancient asset, is declaring its irreplaceable status with an astonishing rise.​ The spot gold price exceeded US$4,350 per ounce in October 2025, soaring over US$130 in one day, setting a historical record. As of mid-October, the cumulative increase in gold prices during the year has reached 18%, even reaching a maximum increase of 39%, creating the best performance in nearly half a century. At the same time, Bitcoin, known as "digital gold", performed mediocrely, falling by more than 25% relative to gold during the year. 👉[Content Outline] ✅ Gold surged to a record high in 2025, while Bitcoin performed mediocre ✅ Comparing the data of gold and Bitcoin in 2025, there is a big difference in the safe-haven properties ✅ Global central banks purchased a large amount of gold due to concerns about the hegemony of the US dollar ✅ Amid global economic uncertainty, the safe-haven properties of gold are highlighted ✅ The Federal Reserve cuts interest rates and the weakening of the US dollar drives gold demand ✅ Physical gold demand is large, inventories are reduced, and institutions are actively deploying ✅ Bitcoin is due to multiple factors in 2025 The year has not risen with gold✅ Gold still has room to rise, and the prospect of Bitcoin is controversial✅ The currency and safe-haven value of gold cannot be replaced for the time being [Highlight videos from the past] https://youtu.be/sX9IAjcXVz8 https://youtu.be/R_H-rcpgAmc https://youtu.be/qqL2ylTB_lw https://youtu.be/b_da1D002dI https://youtu.be/con7juX3v48 [Main content of this video] In October 2025, spot gold exceeded US$4,350 per ounce, rising by more than US$130 in a single day, with the highest increase of 39% during the year, the best performance in half a century; and "digital gold" Bitcoin fell by more than 25% relative to gold during the year, showing a disparity in performance. From the data, gold will become one of the best assets in 2025, far exceeding the 12% increase of the S&P 500 index. In 2024, global central bank gold purchases will increase by 57% year-on-year, with a net increase of 1,086 tons, and the three-year increase will exceed twice the average of the past decade. Although Bitcoin has risen by about 1,000% since 2020, it will decline significantly in 2025, and the differences in its safe-haven attributes are highlighted.​ Global central banks are accelerating their gold purchases, with 95% of respondents expecting to increase gold reserves in the next 12 months, and 43% planning to actively increase their holdings (only 21% in 2024). Emerging market central banks are more active. Poland purchased 67 tons of gold during the year and its reserves exceeded those of the European Central Bank. This is due to concerns about the hegemony of the US dollar. The proportion of central banks that regard the "weaponization" of foreign exchange reserves as a risk will increase from 14% in 2023 to 49% in 2025. There will be many uncertainties in the global economy in 2025. Gold has a low correlation with the S&P 500 and U.S. Treasuries, and has never fallen when the CPI exceeds 2% and the Federal Reserve is loose, and its safe-haven properties are highlighted. Bitcoin is only 16 years old and lacks verification during periods of high inflation, making it difficult to compete with gold's status as a store of value for thousands of years. The Federal Reserve will start to cut interest rates in September 2025. The falling borrowing costs will reduce the cost of gold holdings and increase its attractiveness. This, coupled with the weakening of the US dollar, will further increase the demand for gold. The gold market has substantial physical support, COMEX inventories have decreased, gold bar and gold coin sales increased by 26% year-on-year in the first half of the year, gold ETF inflows hit a new high in September, and institutions are actively deploying hedging risks.​ Bitcoin has not risen along with gold due to its high correlation with the United States (U.S. miners account for 38% of the computing power and entities control 15% of the supply), a single source of demand (lack of physical applications), and high volatility (a drop of more than 60% in 2021-2022, while gold fell by less than 25% in the same period). Looking forward, if gold breaks through the resistance of US$4,200, it may reach US$4,500. The supply and demand gap provides long-term support, but we need to be wary of short-term corrections. The outlook for Bitcoin is controversial. Although some are optimistic about its price in 2030, low-risk investors still prefer gold. At present, the monetary properties and safe-haven value of gold are still irreplaceable.​ [Note⚠️, cryptocurrency is a high-risk investment, and you may lose all your principal.
