Synopsis

JP Morgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said the widening divergence between the two assets since last October has made Bitcoin increasingly attractive for long-term investors.

JPMorgan reportedly stated on Thursday that Bitcoin’s long-term appeal relative to gold has strengthened, driven by gold’s recent rally and a sharp rise in its volatility.

The firm noted that Bitcoin’s risk-adjusted profile has improved, with its volatility relative to gold falling to a record low, according to a report by Investing.com.

Bitcoin fell below the $70,000 mark and was trading about 5% lower at $69,388 at the time of writing, while spot gold (XAU/USD) was down 2.2% at $4,856 per ounce.

JP Morgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said the widening divergence between the two assets since last October has made Bitcoin increasingly attractive for long-term investors. While crypto markets have faced pressure from broader risk-asset weakness and a pullback in precious metals, the impact appears contained, the firm added.
