Bitcoin Doubling Gold’s Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

Continuing to outpace mainstream markets, Bitcoin flexes gains more than double that of gold. Bitcoin Doubling Gold’s Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

Amid unstable global financial conditions, Bitcoin continues its path as a juicy-looking hedge asset, based on its gains comparative to gold.

Sitting at a press time price of $1,717 per ounce, gold has risen approximately 12% from the start of 2020, TradingView data showed. In the same time frame, Bitcoin boasts a 30% gain, at a value of $9,290 at press time.

Bitcoin Shines Against Mainstream Markets

Coronavirus fears and prevention measures sent crypto and mainstream markets into a downward spiral. Bitcoin hit its most recent low on March 13, while traditional markets eventually lagged behind, posting a less dramatic recovery.

An increasing number of mainstream personalities have entered the crypto space in recent days, including hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones.

Morgan Creek Digital co-founder and partner, Anthony Pompliano, mentioned Bitcoin’s 2020 gains compared to gold in a May 13 tweet.

“I won’t hold my breath for the media to write articles stating ‘Bitcoin proving to be the best safe haven asset in the economic crisis,'” Pomp said, adding, “But even their silence can’t change the truth.” Pomplinao has long argued Bitcoin as a non-correlated hedge asset.

Bitcoin And Gold Gains Varied Over The Past Year

Based on the time frame used for comparison, Bitcoin and gold have seen varied gains and losses over the past year. Taking 2020’s highs and lows for both shows Bitcoin surging from its low at $3,830 up to its high of $10,080, a gain of 163% inside the year.

Taking 2020’s highs and lows for both shows Bitcoin surging from its low at $3,830 up to its high of $10,080, a gain of 163% inside the year. Gold swung from $1,450 to a height of $1,748 in the same time span, totalling a mere 20% of total upside.

Cointelegraph reached out to Pompliano for a follow up article, but has not heard back from him by press time.

Goldbugs Better Buying Mining Stocks, Bitcoiners Can Stick to Bitcoin

Over the past year, stock in four major gold mining companies have averaged triple the returns of physical gold, whereas Bitcoin mining companies have tended to underperform Bitcoin.

According to a May 26 tweet from a Messari researcher, goldbugs like Peter Schiff have been missing a trick. Over the past year, returns on stocks in gold mining companies have massively outperformed the return on actual gold.

Fans of Bitcoin (BTC) however, can rest safe in the knowledge that stock in Bitcoin mining companies has tended to underperform the genuine article.

Love Gold? Buy A Mine

At first glance the performance of gold over the last twelve months seems quite impressive, with gains pushing close to 40%.

That is, until one considers the stock of gold mining companies like Newmont, Franco-Nevada, Wheaton Precious Metals and Barrick.

These four companies have averaged almost 120% returns in the past year, effectively acting as a leveraged position on physical gold, with three times the gain.

Love Bitcoin? Buy Bitcoin

In contrast, Bitcoin price is up around 25% compared to a year ago, although if we only consider figures since the start of 2020 it is outperforming gold by a factor of two.

Stock in Bitcoin mining companies, however, has not fared so well. Looking at Riot, Canaan, Hut 8 and Hive, only Hut 8 has had positive returns over the last 12 months, being roughly similar to BTC’s 25%.

The other three stocks averaged a drop of over 40% each, underperforming Bitcoin by a large margin.

Bad News For Goldbugs

So for all of their evangelism, it seems that the goldbugs’ desire for physical gold is blinding them to the potential of investment in gold mining companies.

And the Bitcoiners? Well they could always wrap the Bitcoin, use it to take out a DeFi loan, and spend that on gold mining stocks, thereby exposing themselves to both leveraged gold gains and BTC gains.

You can’t do that with a bar of gold.

Bitcoin Price Stabilizes, Tops $21,000

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

Bitcoin is coming out of the long weekend holding onto recent gains, keeping it elevated above the $20,000 mark for the first time since the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value was recently at $21,309, up 1% from its level 24 hours earlier, according to CoinDesk. It had tumbled after FTX faced a rush of withdrawals and filed for bankruptcy protection in November, then struggled to regain momentum in the weeks that followed as crypto traders turned skittish.

Based on 5 p.m. ET prices, Bitcoin is poised to advance for 14 consecutive days, its longest such streak since 2017, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Crypto investors are hoping Bitcoin’s recent gains could spell the start of recovery in digital-asset valuations, though bitcoin remains well off its record high when it was more than $60,000.

Ethereum was recently around $1,579, up 0.2% over the last 24 hours, according to CoinDesk.

Bitcoin Outpaces Gold In 2023 As Resistance Turns Support

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

Bitcoin has not only started the new year with a rally, its gains have outpaced those of gold. That’s reversed — at least temporarily — part of the 76% decline in the Bitcoin-to-gold ratio over 12 months through November, a period during which the cryptocurrency tumbled into a bear market.

The gauge actually found a low two months ago and drifted sideways, taking support at resistance formerly seen in 2018 and 2019. The jump so far in 2023 signals that the barrier has now turned into a significant support area.

A Weaker Dollar Boosts Bitcoin And Gold Prices

Gold prices near record as investors bet inflation is here to stay.

Lower Treasury yields and weaker dollar have also boosted Bitcoin and the precious metal.

Gold prices hit their highest level of the year on Thursday, driven by bets that inflation will remain sticky despite recent declines.

The most actively traded gold-futures contract rose to $2,055.30 a troy ounce, up 13% year to date. That also put it within striking distance of its record high, reached in the summer of 2020.

Some investors value gold as a hedge against inflation, expecting the precious metal to hold up in value if other assets fall. Its rally this week, however, comes after two closely watched data prints showed that inflation is slowing.

The rising gold price shows investors are wagering that the Federal Reserve will pull back from its rate-hiking campaign even with inflation readings well above the central bank’s 2% target.

That in turn is born from concerns that the economy might be weaker than it seems. Though the labor market remains strong, last month’s banking crisis jolted worries that the economy remains vulnerable to even short-term headwinds.

 

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

 

A reversal by the Fed could result in higher inflation becoming embedded in the economy in coming years, analysts say, creating an environment that favors higher gold prices.

Brian Jacobsen, senior investment strategist at Allspring Global Investments, said gold prices have been lifted by an unusual combination of expectations on falling economic growth and rising inflation.

“The cold hand of reality slapped a lot of people in the face that we’re not going to get to target inflation this year or next,” Mr. Jacobsen said. “And it is unfortunate that it’s at the same time that growth expectations are also falling.”

Data on Thursday showed that the producer-price index, which generally reflects supply conditions across the economy, rose 2.7% in March from a year earlier, down from the highs of 2022 but above prepandemic levels.

Data released Wednesday told a similar story about consumer inflation. It rose 5% in March from the previous year, down from a multidecade high reached last June but still far above normal.

 

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

Federal Reserve minutes released this week show that officials expect to continue raising short-term interest rates from their recent target of 4.75% to 5%—a statement of intention that bond markets have long questioned.

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)


“There’s expectations that the Fed will probably not deliver on the hawkish rhetoric that they’ve been talking about,” said Bart Melek, head of commodity strategy at TD Securities. “The market’s kind of going, ‘Well, that’s great, but we think you’re going to capitulate quicker.’ ”

Last month’s banking turmoil could also influence the Fed’s rate path. Many analysts say banks could pull back on lending, creating tighter economic conditions. That in turn could propel the Fed to pare back from its rate raising.

Even the idea that the Fed could stop raising rates soon “has been enough to get things going,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at the Bleakley Financial Group. The firm owns physical gold and silver exchange-traded funds, along with shares of mining companies.

Mr. Boockvar expects the Fed to cut rates once or twice in the back half of the year, and he expects inflation to hover at roughly 3% to 4% in 2024.

Gold has also been boosted by a recent drop in Treasury yields. Nervous investors have scooped up Treasurys recently as they try to parse conflicting signals about the health of the U.S. economy.

That has dragged down Treasury yields and thus increased the appeal of holding gold, even though it doesn’t offer regular income like bonds.

 

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)

 

Lower yields have also weakened the dollar. That has made it cheaper for foreign investors to buy gold, which is priced in dollars.

The front-month gold futures contract has climbed about 12% this year, whereas the benchmark S&P 500 index has gained 8%.

Shares of precious-metals miners have benefited from gold’s advance this year. Newmont Corp. has gained 8.1%, Canadian-listed shares of Barrick Gold Corp. have rallied 15% and Kinross Gold Corp. has added 28%.

Investors prize gold in times of turmoil because it has held value for thousands of years. In 1971, President Richard Nixon ended a fixed gold-dollar conversion price, allowing the dollar to float freely against other currencies.

This year’s advance for the metal, used in everyday items from jewelry to electronics, comes after it ended 2022 flat. Gold avoided the steeper losses posted by stocks and bonds but still disappointed those who had expected it to thrive during an era of persistent inflation.

Prices have been powered this year first by wagers that slowing growth and cooling inflation would force the Fed to pivot from its aggressive monetary policy, and then by fears that banking troubles would kick off an economic slowdown.

Investors poured a net $653 million in the first quarter into SPDR Gold Shares, the world’s largest physically backed gold ETF.

That marks the largest quarterly inflow since the $7.29 billion received during the first quarter of 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The fund gained 8% over the same period, its largest percentage gain since the three-month period ending December 2022.

 

Bitcoin Doubling Gold's Yearly Gain So Far (#GotBitcoin)


“It’s had a very strong run of late,”
said Matt Dmytryszyn, chief investment officer at Telemus, who expects prices to trade between $1,900 to $2,100 over the next six to 12 months. He is planning to take advantage of the higher prices and sell some of his gold ETF’s holdings.

To be sure, no new bank failures have been announced in recent weeks, and the economy by many measures continues to be strong.

Recent projections show Fed officials expect the federal-funds rate to rise to at least 5.1%.

Wall Street finds that hard to believe. Derivatives markets show traders expect the federal-funds rate to peak at roughly 4.99% in May, then fall to about 4.375% by the end of the year, according to FactSet.

For now, Mr. Boockvar is sticking with his gold holdings.

“Being a gold bull has taken a lot of patience, an extraordinary amount of patience. I believe that patience is about to be rewarded,” Mr. Boockvar said.

‘Substitution’ Of Gold For Bitcoin Is Now Underway, says Cathie Wood

The ARK Invest CEO expects that trend to continue now that investors can trade Bitcoin in a more accessible way through spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Investors have started to move from gold to Bitcoin after the launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to the CEO of ARK Invest.

“Relative to gold, Bitcoin has been rising. There’s now a substitution into Bitcoin and we think that is going to continue now that there is a less friction-filled way to access Bitcoin,” said ARK Invest’s Cathie Woods in a Feb. 4 chat with chief futurist Brett Winton on the firm’s YouTube channel.

Bitcoin Doubling Gold’s Yearly Gain So Far

Like gold, Wood expects Bitcoin to prove itself as a “risk off asset” when the banking sector shows signs of weakness.

The ARK Invest CEO said the market saw this firsthand in March 2023 when the United States experienced a “regional bank crisis,” leading Bitcoin’s price to shoot up 40%.

“The Regional Bank index was imploding and here again, the Regional Bank index is acting up,” she said, adding:

“This idea that it’s a flight to quality or a flight to safety is reasserting itself here.”

A recent analysis by Fidelity shows Bitcoin’s correlation with gold increased in 2023 and decoupled from its previously inverse relationship with interest rates despite global rates increasing worldwide.


 

The one-year rolling correlation between Bitcoin and gold currently sits at 0.80, according to Longtermtrends, which is the highest it has ever been.

Regarding the spot Bitcoin ETF launch, Wood said she wasn’t surprised by the price correction, which saw Bitcoin fall 20% from $48,500 a few hours after launch to $38,740 on Jan. 24, according to CoinGecko. Prior to the launch, Wood predicted the launch would induce a “sell on the news” event.

However, she noted that 15 million of the 19.5 million Bitcoin currently in circulation haven’t moved in 155 days and thus remain in “strong hands,” which could indicate that most Bitcoin holders are taking a longer-term outlook.

Wood’s firm was one of 10 ETF issuers that launched a spot Bitcoin ETF on Jan. 11, named the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.

The Ark 21Shares ETF currently held $705.8 million in Bitcoin after trading hours closed last week, BitMEX Research data shows. Only Grayscale’s GBTC, BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC products hold more Bitcoin.

ARK Invest also became a big buyer of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase stock in February 2022 and currently holds 7.187 million shares worth $843 million across several ETFs, data from Cathie’s ARK shows.

The firm has, however, been selling Coinbase stock rigorously since June 7, 2023, when it held 11.43 million shares.

Gold ETFs Bleed $2.4B So Far In 2024 As Bitcoin ETFs Hit Record Volumes

Leading gold ETFs have seen outflows of $2.39 billion so far in 2024 as the price of spot gold declines.

Gold-tracking exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have lost billions in outflows in 2024, in contrast to ETFs tracking the spot price of Bitcoin.

The 14 leading gold ETFs have seen outflows of $2.4 billion so far in 2024, according to an X post from Bloomberg intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas on Feb. 14.

Only three had seen minor inflows in 2024: VanEck Merk Gold Shares, FT Vest Gold Strategy Target Income ETF and Proshares UltraShort Gold.

The most significant outflows came from BlackRock’s iShares Gold Trust Micro and iShares Gold Trust, with $230.4 million and $423.6 million exiting, respectively.

On the other hand, the 10 approved spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen aggregate inflows of $3.89 billion and record volume since their launch on Jan. 11, according to preliminary data from Farside.

“Not only is Bitcoin sucking up funds, but gold is hemorrhaging AUM at an alarming rate across many ETFs,” commented portfolio manager Bitcoin Munger.

Balchunas, however, commented that he didn’t think gold ETF investors were necessarily mass migrating to Bitcoin ETFs, “but rather just US equity FOMO.”

Bitcoin pioneer Jameson Lopp shared a chart comparing the two ETFs, asking about the well-being of gold investor and Bitcoin detractor Peter Schiff.

Bitcoin Doubling Gold’s Yearly Gain So Far

 

The divergence has been exacerbated by falling gold prices in 2024. The commodity has lost 3.4% since the beginning of the year, falling to a two-month low of $1,993 per ounce on Feb. 14.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin prices have increased 23.5% over the same period, with the asset hitting a two-year high of $52,483 on Feb. 14.

In a report earlier in February, the World Gold Council said that global gold ETF outflows and a “reduction in speculative positioning” were major contributors to gold’s lackluster performance, adding:

“Long-term Treasuries and the US dollar, on the back of strong upside US economic surprises, were also headwinds.”

In January, Bloomberg senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone predicted that gold would outperform Bitcoin in 2024, but he appears to be a little off the mark at the moment.

Bitcoin and gold have often been compared for their shared store of value properties and their choice as go-to investments during times of economic and geopolitical turmoil.
