Bitcoin Surges as Digital Alternative too Gold,Spot ETFs See 21% YTD Gains
New York,NY – September 26,2025 - As global financial landscapes shift toward digital ecosystems,Bitcoin is increasingly positioned as a superior store of value compared to conventional assets like gold,according to industry experts. Teh cryptocurrency’s ability to facilitate rapid, global transactions offers a key advantage in an era defined by digital information flow and potential monetary policy shifts.
for years, Bitcoin and gold have been frequently compared due to shared characteristics – limited supply and a historically low correlation to traditional currencies. This has led many to dub Bitcoin “digital gold.” Though, Henri Arslanian, co-founder and managing partner of Nine Blocks Capital Management, recently emphasized Bitcoin’s unique capabilities in a discussion with the CoinShares team. While gold transfer is a lengthy process,Bitcoin transactions can be completed in moments,a critical benefit in today’s fast-paced world.
“Especially as we move to a digital era, to a Web3 ecosystem, where if we’re sending information around the world on a daily basis, we’re now able to send value around the world as well,” Arslanian noted. “and that is what makes Bitcoin very engaging. In an era where governments can print money, where we can have quantitative easing, and many people turn to gold, we now have a digital gold – many would argue a better version of gold that we can actually be able to use on a day-to-day basis.”
Arslanian believes Bitcoin, alongside other key cryptocurrencies, will play a vital role in the evolving digital economy, particularly as a store of value. He suggests that Bitcoin and spot Bitcoin ETFs present a compelling long-term alternative for investors traditionally drawn to gold.
Investors seeking to increase their Bitcoin exposure can consider the CoinShares Bitcoin ETF (BRRR).As of September 24,2025,the fund has demonstrated strong performance,rising over 21% year-to-date,mirroring Bitcoin’s summer rally,according to YCharts data.
