Bitcoin's Three-Month Volatility Gap With Gold Shrinks to 0.2%, Intensifying 'Digital Gold' Discussion

The difference in quarterly volatility between Bitcoin and gold has narrowed to just 0.2%, a shift that analysts say highlights Bitcoin’s increasing reputation as a reliable store of value. CryptoQuant’s Axel Adler Jr. pointed out this trend, stating, "Bitcoin could be on its way to becoming the real 'digital gold'," in a

Following a $19 billion liquidation in mid-October that temporarily dropped Bitcoin to a four-month low of $104,000, many now see this as a buying window. Geoff Kendrick from Standard Chartered remains optimistic, forecasting Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, even as U.S. President Donald Trump renews tariff threats, as outlined in a

. This positive outlook stands in contrast to Ethereum’s recent difficulties, with ETF outflows for the altcoin hitting $127.5 million on October 23, while Bitcoin ETFs attracted $20.3 million in new investments, according to a .

Institutional involvement is on the rise, as

has revealed plans to let institutional clients use Bitcoin and as collateral for loans, according to a . Despite CEO Jamie Dimon's previous doubts, this move is in step with broader Wall Street trends, such as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF and Morgan Stanley’s crypto trading initiatives. At the same time, corporate treasuries now hold over $113 billion in Bitcoin, with firms like Greenlane Holdings turning to digital assets for strategic diversification, as reported in the Bitcoin News Digest (October 24, 2025) .

Global politics and economic factors continue to influence market sentiment. Ongoing U.S.-China trade talks in Malaysia have eased immediate risk-off attitudes, pushing Bitcoin above $111,000, according to the Bitcoin News Digest. However, upcoming U.S. inflation figures and a controversial Trump administration proposal to swap gold reserves for Bitcoin—aimed at tackling $38 trillion in national debt—add uncertainty, as noted in a

The debate over volatility between Bitcoin and gold has grown more heated, as gold has lost $2.5 trillion in value this year—more than Bitcoin’s entire market cap. Despite gold’s reputation as a safe haven, Bitcoin’s strength has drawn comparisons. "Gold’s recent 8% single-day drop shows its vulnerability," commented CryptoMichNL, founder of a crypto fund, while Tom Tucker advised investors to be cautious of Bitcoin possibly mirroring gold’s decline in a

Currently, Bitcoin’s price is consolidating, with significant resistance at $113,600 and support around $109,000, according to the Bitcoin News Digest. Institutional “dolphin” wallets—those holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC—now control 26% of the circulating supply, indicating ongoing long-term interest, the digest noted. As the Federal Reserve’s decisions and global events continue to unfold, the competition between Bitcoin’s “maturity” and gold’s “completion” as a store of value is set to shape the next chapter of the crypto market.
