As investors brace for persistent geopolitical uncertainty, gold and BTC “appear to have become more important components of investors’ portfolios structurally”
Institutions are showing renewed interest in Bitcoin ( BTC ) and other commodities amid concerns over inflation, according to a recent analysis by JPMorgan. The banking giant observed substantial capital inflows into crypto markets during 2024.
The so-called “debasement trade” into gold and Bitcoin appears to be sticking around as investors brace for persistent geopolitical uncertainty, according to a Jan. 3 research note by JPMorgan shared with Cointelegraph.
Gold and BTC “appear to have become more important components of investors’ portfolios structurally” as they increasingly seek to hedge against geopolitical risk and inflation, the bank said.
The debasement trade refers to increasing demand for gold and BTC due to factors ranging from “structurally higher geopolitical uncertainty since 2022, to persistent high uncertainty about the longer-term inflation backdrop, to concerns about ‘debt debasement’ due to persistently high government deficits across major economies,” among others, JPMorgan said.
Gold and Bitcoin are both limited in supply, making them attractive assets for investors seeking to preserve capital during periods of economic uncertainty or inflation.
“Both gold and Bitcoin are viewed by some investors as a hedge against geopolitical risk and inflation, owing to their scarcity,” the bank noted.
However, the bank also highlighted the “disproportionate” gains in BTC relative to gold, which could potentially be attributed to factors such as the “record capital inflow into crypto markets in 2024.”
