Bitcoin Gains Attention As Modern Inflation Hedge Amid Institutional Shift

According to Odaily, Bitcoin is increasingly being recognized as a high-growth investment tool, highlighting a shift in sentiment among institutional investors. Maruf Yusupov, co-founder of Deenar, noted that Bitcoin's rapid rise following Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. elections may be reshaping traditional views on inflation hedging. Trump's focus on tax cuts, tariffs, and cryptocurrencies is driving interest in Bitcoin as a modern alternative to gold. As institutional adoption accelerates, there could be a significant shift of capital from gold to digital assets. Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, also stated that Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a tool for hedging inflation and diversifying investment portfolios. Institutional interest has reached an all-time high, with the infrastructure supporting mass adoption continually expanding. Fadi Aboualfa, Head of Research at Copper.co, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the growing similarity in price trend patterns between spot Bitcoin and gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This convergence suggests a broader acceptance of Bitcoin as a viable asset class, potentially leading to further integration into traditional financial systems.
