Gold Will Outshine Bitcoin as \u2018New Safe Haven,\u2019 Says Market Researcher Ed Yardeni<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gold\u2019s massive rise in 2025 is capturing investor attention, with market veteran Ed Yardeni declaring it the \u201cnew bitcoin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yardeni argued that gold has outperformed bitcoin as a safe-haven asset amidst growing geopolitical uncertainty.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin has been described as \u2018digital gold<\/a>,\u2019 but we would describe gold as \u2018physical bitcoin,\u2019\u201d Yardeni wrote, highlighting gold\u2019s historical reliability compared with bitcoin\u2019s shorter track record and risk-on behavior, Yardeni wrote in a Wednesday note from Yardeni Research reported<\/a> by CNBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The numbers back up his claim. Gold has surged<\/a> roughly 60% year-to-date, while bitcoin\u2019s gains have been closer to 20%. In recent weeks, gold has rallied nearly 4%, while bitcoin has fallen 9%, and the Nasdaq has dipped almost 1%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gold is currently priced at over $4,200 an ounce. One year ago, it was roughly $2,600 an ounce.<\/p>\n

The surge in gold today can be partially attributed to President Trump threatening<\/a> China with \u201cretribution\u201d over trade, including a potential ban on Chinese cooking oil, amid longstanding tensions involving soybeans and other commodities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The escalation raises U.S. economic uncertainty, boosting demand for gold as a safe-haven asset.<\/p>\n

Yardeni: Bitcoin has liquidity strain<\/h2>\n

Yardeni attributed bitcoin\u2019s decline to liquidity strains, with around<\/a> $19 billion in recent liquidations in leveraged positions, forcing some auto-deleveraging and widening market spreads.<\/p>\n

By contrast, gold climbed after President Donald Trump hinted<\/a> at 100% tariffs against China, reflecting its role as a geopolitical hedge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yardeni sees gold pushing past $5,000 in 2026, potentially reaching $10,000 by decade\u2019s end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors seeking protection from mounting geopolitical risks have been heading for the hills to mine for gold as well as silver,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin has settled near $111,000 this week, following a record high above $126,000 and one of the market\u2019s most violent corrections in years. The rally to all-time highs was driven by renewed institutional demand, falling real yields, and growing adoption<\/a> of the \u201cdebasement trade,\u201d as investors sought protection against monetary expansion.<\/p>\n

The recovery came after a brutal weekend that wiped out over $19 billion in leveraged positions, forcing more than 1.6 million traders to liquidate in cascading margin calls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite the turbulence, long-term holders remained steady, and metrics like Coin Days Destroyed<\/a> suggested most selling came from new entrants capitulating at a loss. Bitcoin\u2019s fundamentals, including hash rate, transaction throughput, and active addresses, continued to trend upward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
