We strongly echo JPMorgan’s characterization of Bitcoin and gold as dual “debasement trades,” a thesis that captures the mounting investor shift away from fiat as relentless fiscal deficits, rising government debt, and loose monetary policy continue to erode currency credibility.

In this environment, capital is gravitating toward scarce, non-sovereign assets that preserve value over time.

Bitcoin’s evolution into “digital gold” reinforces this paradigm—combining scarcity with portability, divisibility, and round-the-clock accessibility that physical gold cannot match.

This positions it as a foundational hedge in modern portfolios and an increasingly vital alternative to traditional stores of value.

From Bitget’s perspective, this shift points to a structural reallocation of institutional capital, where Bitcoin could rival or even surpass gold’s historical 5–10 percent weighting in portfolio strategies.

The evidence is already emerging through surging ETF inflows and corporate treasury allocations, signaling growing confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term stability.

Looking ahead, this macro regime is poised to channel significant capital into digital assets. While Bitcoin is likely to capture the lion’s share initially, momentum is expected to cascade into high-quality altcoins that extend the scarcity and utility narrative.

Ethereum’s deflationary design under EIP-1559 and its central role in DeFi establish it as a yield-bearing counterpart to Bitcoin’s store-of-value function.

Solana’s high-throughput architecture continues to attract DeFi and NFT projects seeking efficient, debasement-resistant ecosystems, while Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure strengthens trust in tokenized real-world assets.

Together, these dynamics highlight a maturing digital asset landscape where macro tailwinds and technological innovation converge to drive sustained growth.

For investors and institutions alike, this evolution cements crypto’s role not just as a speculative vehicle, but as an essential pillar of wealth preservation in the age of monetary debasement.
