Bitcoin and Gold Clash as Safe-Haven Contenders—ETF Boom Fuels the Fire
Move over, gold—Bitcoin’s elbowing its way into the safe-haven spotlight. With ETF inflows hitting record highs, the digital vs. physical debate just got a volatility injection.
Wall Street’s new toy? Bitcoin ETFs now hoover up assets faster than a hedge fund at a tax loophole buffet. Meanwhile, gold bugs cling to their ’ancient store of value’ narrative like boomers to dividend stocks.
The verdict? Both assets flash recession-proof credentials, but only one runs on 24/7 markets and blockchain rails. Guess which one suits the panic-buying TikTok generation?
Funny how ’digital gold’ suddenly looks more appealing than the real thing when institutions need liquidity faster than Fort Knox can ship bars. Just don’t tell the gold lobbyists.
