Bitcoin vs. gold: State Street worries the crypto rally's allure is distracting precious metal investors
Published On Nov 23, 2024, 11:00 AM
State Street's chief gold strategist, George Milling-Stanley, warns that the recent surge in Bitcoin prices could be giving investors a false sense of security while diverting attention from traditional safe-haven assets like gold. He argues that while Bitcoin is seen as a lucrative investment, it does not offer the stability and reliability that gold provides. Milling-Stanley highlights gold's long-term price growth and forecasts continued strong performance for gold, especially considering its recent uptick which places it close to record highs.
