Bitcoin traded around $87,523, down 2.49% in the past 24 hours, after a brief attempt to reclaim the $90,000 level. The upside move failed to sustain, and the asset remained in a tight range as gold and copper posted gains. Ethereum slipped 2.44% to $2,966, dipping back below $3,000, while XRP, Solana, and Binance Coin also eased about 1–2%. Analysts note that the broader upturn in real assets has not translated into meaningful demand for Bitcoin, which remains roughly 30% below its 2025 high and has yet to recover its early-year levels.
Gold rose above $4,450 per ounce and copper gained around 35% this year as investors chase inflation hedges amid macro uncertainty and AI investment optimism. Some analysts view the stronger performance of real assets as evidence of a world where AI-driven growth is tempered by fiscal and currency headwinds, potentially squeezing room for Bitcoin. On the institutional side, the report indicated mixed signals: a major BTC holder used equity issuance to raise cash instead of buying more BTC, while BlackRock nonetheless highlighted Bitcoin as a potential investment theme for 2025.
