“Bitcoin will eventually capture around a quarter of the monetary gold market,” Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity, wrote in an X post, referring to the gold held by the world’s central banks, financial institutions, and governments as part of their foreign exchange reserves.

Last week, spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) data was pointed to as evidence bitcoin is already “stealing gold’s crown” as the world’s “primary store-of-value.”

These combined factors have made many bitcoin, ethereum and XRP traders very bullish.
âI think this is as clear as day we are currently coming up on the steeper portion of the parabolic trend,” bitcoin, ethereum and XRP price analyst Kevin Svenson said in a video posted to X.
