On a 30-day rolling basis, gold funds have outflows than Bitcoin ETFs, with Gold approaching its strongest profits of the year.
Experts highlight the growing demand for hard assets such as gold and Bitcoin, and note that this trend may continue as the Federal Reserve shows more interest rate cuts.
“Gold is outpacing Bitcoin… it’s nearing the strongest surge this year, fueling new highs.
This coincides with recent US Crypto News Publications, which showed that Fed rate reductions could push Bitcoin to $145,000.
In optimism, Deutsche Bank is looking at Bitcoin adding gold to the central bank’s balance sheet by 2030, as shown in previous US Crypto News publications.
The yellow metal has repeatedly set new highs, reflecting a sharp increase in hard asset investors’ demand as the Federal Reserve shows more interest rate cuts.
Meanwhile, experts also focus on the differences between the two inflation hedges. Bitcoin’s momentum has cooled after a wave of liquidation, but Gold’s rally has accelerated.
Money as collateral for the shaking crypto market
But not everyone sees this as positive for cryptography. Gold’s advocate Peter Schiff argued that Gold’s recent outperformance is a warning sign for Bitcoin holders.
“From 2011 to 2024, the gold bugs saw Bitcoiner becoming rich… Now the gold bugs are rich and Bitcoin trades sideways. Soon, the gold bugs become even richer as Bitcoiner breaks,” writes Schiff.
However, crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen pushed back from his perspective. He pointed out that even if Gold’s rally would go 10 times more than Bitcoin, it would be a 99.96% decrease against BTC in the long run.
This comparison shows how much Ground Gold has to make up, comparable to Bitcoin’s historic performance.

The gold surge will be the biggest long liquidation event of 2025 and crypto investors are working on.
Following the top-notch Fed cuts in nine months, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets exposed excessive leverage traders as prices plummeted unexpectedly.
Kevin Rusher, founder of Real World Asset (RWA) lending platform Raac, said wipeouts should be a wake-up call.
“Out of nowhere, we just saw the biggest crypto long liquidation event of the year, just after the Federal Reserve announced one cut in nine months.
He argued that Gold’s parallel rallies underscore the importance of stability in the turbulent market.
According to Rusher, assets like gold provide firepower to take advantage of price drops during major liquidation events.
Despite the set-off, the crypto market remains the highest ever, falling about 5% below the peak capitalization.
