The race between Gold and Bitcoin, seen as digital gold, continues, with gold taking the lead in recent times.

As gold races to record highs this year, with an increase of over 15% due to geopolitical uncertainties, ETF inflows, and tariff discussions in the US, BTC is in a downward trend for the same reasons compared to the previous year, which saw a 40% increase.

Eyes are now on the expected rally in Bitcoin as it proves the narrative of gold being a safe haven.

According to Coindesk's report, ByteTree founder Charlie Morris evaluated historical data by referring to the fact that gold and Bitcoin mostly move in opposite directions in the markets.

Morris said, "While gold was rising between 2019 and 2020, Bitcoin was stagnant. In 2021, Bitcoin rallied while gold remained stable. Both assets rose in 2023 and 2024, but in 2025, gold once again took the lead."

Among the reasons for the rise in the price of gold are “Safe Haven Demand (Geopolitical uncertainties and economic concerns); ETF Inflows (Intense interest in gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs)(; and Customs Tariff Debates )New tariffs brought up during the former US President Donald Trump's term have increased interest in gold and US stocks.)”.

As Bitcoin Struggles, Gold Rises, Then the Rally Begins!

Morris noted that historically, gold and Bitcoin rarely rise together, indicating that gold reached a record high during Bitcoin's challenging period.

Morris, who referred to the fact that Bitcoin typically stagnates during gold bull markets but then rallies, said that the divergence between BTC and gold followed similar trends in past cycles including 2019-2020 and 2021-2022.

Morris described this increase under gold as the first 'real gold rush' since 2011. Firstly, pointing out that gold has experienced a rally, Morris recalled historical trends indicating that Bitcoin followed it.

Gold rose above $3,000, silver surpassed $24, and gold mining shares were on the rise.

The crypto world had never seen such a rise before.

It had happened last in 2011, and at that time, Bitcoin was only 20 dollars when it was just starting. Now they will see BTC.
