Ki Young Ju, CEO of blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant, believes that Bitcoin is not yet considered digital gold, contrary to popular belief.

The view comes as investors react to trade tensions between the United States and other countries. Contrary to experts’ expectations that investors would flock to Bitcoin in an unstable economic environment, the cryptocurrency has fluctuated and fallen along with the stock market, while gold will continue to perform well in 2025.

Ju believes that Bitcoin has entered a bearish phase, but remains optimistic about its long-term potential. He predicts that Bitcoin’s market cap will eventually surpass gold’s $20 trillion, although it is currently only $1.6 trillion.

Ju also warned that investors should expect a bearish or volatile trend for 6 to 12 months.
