JPMorgan Predicts Bitcoin’s Safe-Haven Charm is Fading Fast – Gold Takes Over!

Well, it looks like JPMorgan has changed its tune. Bitcoin’s reputation as the “digital gold” is crumbling faster than a house of cards, while gold is sitting pretty, sipping margaritas, and getting all the love from investors.

JPMorgan Says Bitcoin Is No Longer the Shiny Savior – Gold Takes the Spotlight

JPMorgan Chase analysts are not holding back this time. They practically threw a cold bucket of water on Bitcoin’s safe-haven dreams. According to them, Bitcoin’s ride on the safe-haven train is over, with gold now leading the pack like a rockstar at a sold-out concert. In a note sent out Wednesday, led by the ever-polite Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the analysts pointed out that the crypto craze is quickly losing its luster. They weren’t shy about it:

Bitcoin has failed to benefit from the safe-haven flows that have been supporting gold.

Apparently, it’s been a rough few months for the digital currency. Bitcoin saw three straight months of ETF outflows—yes, that’s three, count ‘em, THREE months in a row. Investors seem to have put their bets on something shinier. Meanwhile, in the other corner of the ring, gold is still flexing, with both institutional and speculative investors practically tossing their cash into gold’s overflowing pockets. “Despite a small hiccup in market liquidity, gold is still the darling of safe-haven flows,” the analysts said, sounding like your grandma praising her favorite grandchild over the others. “It’s like the Swiss franc or yen, really,” they added. Gold ETFs alone pulled in a whopping $21.1 billion in net inflows during Q1 2025, with China and Hong Kong bringing in their fair share of gold-flavored cash—$2.3 billion to be exact.

But wait, the fun doesn’t stop there. Earlier this month, JPMorgan dropped another bombshell: Bitcoin’s “digital gold” persona? Yeah, that’s under pressure too. Bitcoin is finding it harder to live up to the hype while gold continues to rake in demand like it’s Black Friday. The analysts also mentioned that gold is now the prime beneficiary of the current debasement trade, which seems to be working out quite well for it. Bitcoin, though? Well, it’s still clinging to its $62,000 production cost as its last shred of relevance. If it drops below that level, things could get ugly.
