Bitcoin Price Slump vs Gold's Gains: Market Trends Shift

The value of Bitcoin has diverged significantly from that of gold in 2026, with gold experiencing a substantial increase of 153% since 2024, while Bitcoin has declined by roughly 30% over the same period.

Experts suggest that this disparity is linked to steady growth in global money supply and cooling appetite for risky tech stocks. As a result, investors' risk appetite for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has become increasingly fragmented, with some turning towards safer assets like gold.
