Bitcoin ($BTC ) has returned to the spotlight this year due to extreme price fluctuations, driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on the global trade order. The uncertainty has led to radical predictions of a total collapse of the U.S. dollar. The price of the cryptocurrency has once again surpassed $100,000 (R$ 566,000), despite warnings from asset manager BlackRock about bitcoin.

Now, as crypto investors prepare for the peak that bitcoin's price may reach, analysts at investment bank JP Morgan have shifted their preference from gold to digital currency, predicting that bitcoin will outperform gold for the remainder of 2025.

"Between mid-February and mid-April, gold was rising at the expense of bitcoin, while in the last three weeks, we have observed the opposite, that is, this cryptocurrency rising at the expense of gold,” wrote JP Morgan analysts, led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, in a report obtained by Decrypt.
