Why Is JP Morgan Bullish on Bitcoin?

As per the latest statement shared by JP Morgan, its quantitative strategist, Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, stated how gold’s outperformance of Bitcoin’s since last October, with a sharp rise in gold’s volatility, has now made Bitcoin appear more lucrative than ever.
The expert went ahead to note how the crypto market has lately been witnessing violent fluctuations but has kept its footing strong, noting modest outflows as compared to last quarter.
“JPMorgan’s key point: Bitcoin’s risk-adjusted profile versus gold has strengthened. Its volatility relative to gold has fallen to a record low, implying significant upside potential over the long term.”
CryptosRUs, a leading expert on X, further broke down JP Morgan’s bullish Bitcoin sentiment. The portal noted how Bitcoin’s volatility is now “cooling,” packing long-term benefits for the world to take note of.
“J.P. Morgan’s strategists are now favoring #Bitcoin over gold for the long term, and the implications for institutional capital are massive. Risk-Adjusted Dominance: As Bitcoin’s volatility cools, it’s becoming a “mathematical peer” to gold, not just a speculative play. The $170k Target: By aligning Bitcoin’s risk profile with gold, analysts see a clear path to a six-figure valuation based on portfolio parity. Mechanical Adoption: This isn’t about “believing” in crypto; it’s a mechanical reallocation of wealth into assets with fixed supply.”
