According to QCP, its Head of Trading, Ivan Lee, stated in an interview with Money FM 89.3 that as gold strengthens, crypto assets are being incorporated into a broader macroeconomic discussion framework. He pointed out that the notion of Bitcoin as "digital gold" emphasizes its scarcity rather than replacing gold's role in the global reserve system. Lee stated that gold remains a widely accepted global reserve asset and can provide diversification support for crypto-related balance sheets. Furthermore, Bitcoin and gold perform differently under varying macroeconomic conditions, exhibiting different trends during periods of safe-haven demand and liquidity expansion, but both can coexist in investment portfolios.
