๐ช JPMorgan: Bitcoin Could Outpace Gold as ETF Hedging Eases
๐ ETF Recovery Gap
๐ก Gold ETFs have recovered 100% of their 2026 outflows.
โฟ Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered around 50% of their earlier redemptions.
๐ก๏ธ Bitcoin Faces Heavy Hedging
๐ Short interest in BlackRockโs IBIT remains near its 2026 highs.
๐ IBITโs put-to-call ratio is also above historical levels seen in comparable gold ETF options.
๐ Potential Upside Trigger
๐ JPMorgan analysts say that if institutional investors begin unwinding defensive Bitcoin hedges, the resulting spot buying could support Bitcoin relative to gold.
๐ฆ The bank notes that derivatives positioning currently shows a more defensive stance toward Bitcoin than gold.
๐ Bigger Picture
๐ฐ JPMorgan has previously estimated Bitcoinโs long-term theoretical value at around $266,000 when compared with the global gold market.
๐๏ธ U.S. crypto legislation, macroeconomic conditions and the upcoming FOMC meeting could influence institutional positioning and hedging strategies.
