Bitcoin is now worth more than one kilogram of gold, but gold is outperforming in this volatile economy, says MEXC COO Tracy Jin. <\/p>\n
Bitcoin (BTC) is worth more than one kilogram of gold, but many investors still favor the latter. On Monday, May 19, MEXC COO Tracy Jin shared her insights about Bitcoin\u2019s relative performance with crypto.news. <\/p>\n
Jin pointed out that Bitcoin traded above $106,000, which is worth more than one kg of gold. The biggest crypto asset reached a daily high of $107,089 on May 19. However, she added that the volatile macroeconomic environment still favors gold.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSince the beginning of 2025, gold has risen by 23%, outpacing Bitcoin\u2019s 12% gain. This divergence highlights that, in times of heightened uncertainty, institutional capital continues to favor traditional safe-haven assets. Gold remains the preferred hedge \u2014 at least for now,\u201d Tracy Jin, MEXC. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Still, gold\u2019s strong performance could be good for Bitcoin. This is because the current macroeconomic imbalances favor assets that are seen as safe havens. What is more, Bitcoin has more space to grow, Jin points out.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin could be at $150,000 by year\u2019s end: Tracy Jin<\/h2>\n
Despite gold\u2019s relatively strong performance, Jin believes that Bitcoin is in a good position to grow further. Compared to traditional markets, Bitcoin has shown resilience, and investors are increasingly starting to view it as a safe haven.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBitcoin, however, is showing resilience. The asset has posted six consecutive weeks of growth, closing near $106,500. The $105,800 level is a key resistance zone: a confirmed breakout could open the way toward $109,000, with optimistic projections reaching $130,000 in Q3 and potentially $150,000 by year-end,\u201d Tracy Jin, MEXC. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Long term, there\u2019s still significant potential for growth, especially if investors start using Bitcoin as a safe haven and a hedge against inflation. For instance, Jin pointed out that Bitcoin\u2019s market cap is still well below gold\u2019s, at $2 trillion compared to $21 trillion.<\/p>\n
