BTC is running tighter to Gold than ever, but the details matter. Both are up big in 2025—BTC +29%, Gold +27%—as safe-haven demand rips; ETF flows and macro stress are lifting each, but BTC’s moves are sharper, fueled by DeFi buzz and record institutional flows.

The mid-term outlook? BTC’s volatility and innovation edge are likely to accelerate decoupling, especially as yield and programmable features expand.
