🪙 JPMorgan: Bitcoin Could Outpace Gold as ETF Hedging Eases
📊 ETF Recovery Gap
🟡 Gold ETFs have recovered 100% of their 2026 outflows.
₿ Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered around 50% of their earlier redemptions.
🛡️ Bitcoin Faces Heavy Hedging
📉 Short interest in BlackRock’s IBIT remains near its 2026 highs.
📊 IBIT’s put-to-call ratio is also above historical levels seen in comparable gold ETF options.
🚀 Potential Upside Trigger
🔓 JPMorgan analysts say that if institutional investors begin unwinding defensive Bitcoin hedges, the resulting spot buying could support Bitcoin relative to gold.
🏦 The bank notes that derivatives positioning currently shows a more defensive stance toward Bitcoin than gold.
🌐 Bigger Picture
💰 JPMorgan has previously estimated Bitcoin’s long-term theoretical value at around $266,000 when compared with the global gold market.
🏛️ U.S. crypto legislation, macroeconomic conditions and the upcoming FOMC meeting could influence institutional positioning and hedging strategies.
