Bitcoin Outshines Gold with 12% Surge Following Trump's Election Victory

Bitcoin Outperforms Gold After Trump’s Election Win

Bitcoin saw a significant surge in value following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election. Following this rally, the BTC/Gold ratio rose by 12% on Wednesday, reflecting the highest single-day outperformance of Bitcoin relative to gold since February 2022

This notable increase points to a growing shift in investor sentiment from traditional assets like gold to digital ones like Bitcoin.

For months, gold has been the go-to safe-haven asset. However, this recent change indicates that many investors now consider Bitcoin a better hedge against economic uncertainties

The election of a pro-crypto candidate like Trump has only heightened this trend. The investors seem confident that the regulatory environment under Trump will favor Bitcoin, further driving demand for the digital asset.

Analysts have pointed out that the BTC/Gold ratio has been in a downtrend since March. As Noelle Acheson, author of the Crypto Is Macro Now newsletter, noted, more focus will now be on Bitcoin.

“We could see some marginal rotation from gold to BTC, as well as new money flowing into the digital alternative,” added Acheson.

What’s Driving the Shift?

The shift from gold to Bitcoin is not only a result of Trump’s pro-crypto stance. The broader market performance also plays a key role

Bitcoin’s price rally has been building momentum as investors increasingly view it as a store of value. Meanwhile, gold has started losing its bullish edge due to rising interest rates under the new administration, which could dampen the metal’s appeal.

“Analyzing the BTC to gold ratio, we can see that the downtrend [indicative of gold’s outperformance since March] is starting to reverse,” Acheson explained. 

Moreover, Trump’s presidency is expected to bring more regulatory clarity for the digital asset space. Speculation has even surfaced that the administration could build a strategic Bitcoin reserve

Gold vs. Bitcoin: The Future Outlook

While Bitcoin is gaining ground, the future of gold remains uncertain. Much of gold’s appeal comes from its status as a safe-haven asset during times of economic instability

However, with Trump in power and interest rates set to rise, gold allure could fade, which could shift the focus to BTC. The largest cryptocurrency is trading at around $75,400, with a 24-hour gain of 2%.

As more investors turn to digital assets, Bitcoin’s dominance is expected to increase. Currently, Bitcoin’s dominance is at 58.9%, while the Fear and Greed index is at 70 (Greed), which indicates a strong bullish sentiment.

If BTC can push slightly beyond its present momentum, it could continue outperforming gold in the coming months.
