Bitcoin Correlation with Gold Hits Highest Level Since 2020: Digital Gold Takes Center Stage

According to Bitwise's André Dragosch, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has reached its highest level since 2020. In an X post cited by Cointelegraph, Dragosch notes that Bitcoin is behaving more like 'digital gold' rather than a leveraged technology investment.

The observation suggests a notable shift in the relationship between Bitcoin and gold, two assets often viewed differently by investors. A higher positive correlation means their price movements have become more closely aligned, but it does not establish causality.

Dragosch's characterization of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' distinguishes its recent market behavior from the view that the cryptocurrency primarily trades like a high-risk technology asset.
