Why Gold Is Resurgent Over Bitcoin, and Why Bitcoin Hyper Could Help Bitcoin Catch Up

4 min read

KEY POINTS:
➡Ed Yardeni calls gold ‘physical Bitcoin’ and highlights gold’s resurgence as the preferred safe-haven asset.
➡ The Federal Reserve’s ‘beige book’ highlights a stalled economy.
➡ Bitcoin Hyper’s much-needed upgrade could unlock the original vision of Bitcoin as a digital cash equivalent, reenergizing Bitcoin’s momentum.

Recent analysis by Ed Yardeni suggests that gold’s stability and long-standing credibility are giving it the upper hand at a time when market participants are prioritizing security over speculative upside.

That’s reflected in the performance of gold over the past year.

Gold's price, year-to-date.

As gold’s value relative to Bitcoin climbs, there’s more and more evidence that investors are seeking refuge from the broader crypto turmoil. But will that last? Or is Bitcoin poised to regain ground and make a comeback of its own – thanks in part to Bitcoin Hyper’s much-needed upgrade?

Geopolitical Turmoil Drives Demand for Stability

Gold is often viewed as a bulwark against chaos, and benefits from a perceived ‘flight to safety.’ In contrast, Bitcoin – although digital and decentralized – still appears highly volatile and risky.

Large and abrupt swings in value are commonplace, and Bitcoin tends to correlate with high-risk assets, particularly tech stocks. In market downturns, it often follows the broader risk-off trend rather than defying it, behavior inconsistent with traditional safe havens.

Bitcoin price year to date

Recent reports from the Federal Reserve highlight that most districts (and the people in them) continue ‘to expect elevated uncertainty to weigh down activity.’ That expectation limits enthusiasm for perceived ‘high-risk’ assets, such as Bitcoin.

In what essentially amounts to a ‘stalled economy,’ Bitcoin’s primary weakness in the safe-haven narrative lies in its volatility.

On the other hand, gold’s intrinsic strength lies in its legacy. For centuries, it served as a store of value across civilizations and market cycles. Its long history imbues it with psychological and institutional credibility that Bitcoin, only in existence for a decade and a half, has yet to earn.

However, that doesn’t mean all is lost for Bitcoin’s long-running attempt to challenge gold’s lead as the world’s largest asset. $BTC’s $2.2T isn’t anywhere near gold’s $29.7T, but analysts can look at earlier patterns where Bitcoin lost ground, only to surge back upwards.

Ash Crypto Bitcoin parabolic rally

Gold markets tend to see less speculative fervor than crypto markets – a factor that helps limit extreme swings during times of stress.

But when macroeconomic conditions improve, that appetite can change quickly.

Bitcoin’s outlook improves even further with the prospect of key upgrades – notably Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer 2.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The Critical Upgrade for Bitcoin to Unlock Fast, Cheap $BTC

Payments were the original vision for Bitcoin. However, as investors recognized the effectiveness of Bitcoin as a store of value, the utility of the blockchain evolved.

That’s great – until broader uncertainty pushes investors away from a digital store of value like Bitcoin and back to a physical one, such as gold.

However, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to revive some of that original vision – utilizing a Layer 2 constructed on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and a Canonical Bridge to achieve vastly improved transaction speeds and lower costs.

With Hyper, wrapped $BTC can be deployed for DeFi, dApps, and native staking, in addition to facilitating fast and cheap transactions. The promise of even greater Bitcoin utility has drawn massive whale investment, headlined by a $379K $HYPER buy, boosting the total presale to $23.8M.

That’s what makes Bitcoin Hyper what it is – the next big upgrade to expand Bitcoin’s utility. Learn how to buy Bitcoin Hyper, and see why our price prediction shows that $HYPER could reach $0.2 by the end of the year, up 1423% from its current level of $0.013125.

Don’t delay – learn more about the project at the Bitcoin Hyper presale page.

Even as gold reasserts itself as a leading safe haven, Bitcoin remains poised to launch its own comeback.

As always, do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
