<p>Bitcoin, nearing 60,000 dollars yesterday, reminded us of its recent record high of 69,000 dollars. A performance that leaves little way to go to surpass the peaks of November 2021. In the wake of this rise, the Bitcoin ETF also stands out, now representing more than half the size of Gold ETFs.</p>

<p>According to Eric Balchunas from Bloomberg, <strong>bitcoin funds could outpace gold</strong> within the next two years if the current growth trend continues.</p>
<p>Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, echoes the sentiment, calling bitcoin the «&nbsp;<em>digital gold</em>&nbsp;», <strong>a hedge against monetary devaluation and inflation</strong>.</p>

<p>In <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/yellow-gold-gives-way-cathie-woods-prophecies-on-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a viral speech on YouTube</a>, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, also predicts that <strong>Bitcoin could surpass gold as a safe haven value</strong>. She highlights Bitcoin’s 40% rise during last year’s banking crisis, in stark contrast to the faltering of regional banks.</p>
<p>Wood attributes this trend to a «&nbsp;<em>flight to quality&nbsp;</em>», where investors turn to Bitcoin in times of uncertainty. Despite a temporary dip post-launch of the BTC ETFs, she insists on the bullish trend of the top cryptocurrency compared to gold, favored by increasing accessibility and lower barriers to entry.</p>
