The post Bitcoin will trade at this price if it reaches half of gold’s market cap appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) and gold have been standout assets, hitting record highs, though the precious metal has shown more sustained gains as investors seek safe havens. At present, gold holds a market capitalization of $27.484 trillion, trading at a record high of $4,093 per ounce. Bitcoin, meanwhile, trades at $114,939, with a market capitalization of $2.29 trillion.  Gold and Bitcoin market cap.

If adoption and institutional participation continue through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Bitcoin’s trajectory could increasingly mirror gold’s role in finance.  Notably, trading near $700,000 aligns with projections from figures like Robert Kiyosaki, who predicts it could reach $1 million. Gold and Bitcoin differences  It’s worth noting that gold and Bitcoin share traits like scarcity, global recognition, and independence from government control, yet they differ in form and utility.  Gold is a tangible commodity with industrial and ornamental uses, validated over millennia, while Bitcoin is purely digital, valued for network trust, mathematical scarcity, and its 21 million coin supply cap.  Despite growing institutional inflows and similarities, Bitcoin remains volatile. For instance,  On October 10, amid renewed U.S.-China trade tensions, it fell below $110,000, while gold stayed steady, hitting…
