OPINION: Institutions Favour Bitcoin Over Gold To Fight Inflation After Trump Win

The difference highlights a shift in institutional investor sentiment as bitcoin solidifies its position as a potential high-growth investment vehicle. Maruf Yusupov, co-founder of Deenar, says the rapid rise in bitcoin following Trump's victory in the US election may be reshaping traditional views on inflation hedging. Trump's focus on tax cuts, tariffs and cryptocurrencies is driving interest in bitcoin as a modern alternative to gold. As institutional adoption accelerates, it could see a significant shift in capital away from gold and towards digital assets. Nigel Green, group chief executive of deVere Group, also said that bitcoin is increasingly seen as a hedge against inflation and portfolio diversification, with institutional interest at an all-time high and the infrastructure to support mass adoption expanding. Fadi Aboualfa, Head of Research at Copper.co, echoed these sentiments, also highlighting the increasing similarity in the pattern of price movements between spot bitcoin and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
