Bitcoin Tops Gold in Value Per Kilogram, But Gold Remains Favored for Safe Haven Status

MEXC COO Tracy Jin has shared insights on Bitcoin’s recent performance. While Bitcoin surpassed one kilogram of gold in value recently, indicating a potential shift in investor preferences, Jin emphasized that gold continues to be favored as a safe haven asset in the volatile economy. 💰📈

Jin revealed that Bitcoin traded above $106,000 on May 19th, exceeding one kilogram of gold’s worth. Despite this record-breaking high, Jin pointed out that the global economic instability favors traditional safe-haven assets like gold. 💪

According to Jin, gold has shown a strong performance in 2025, rising by 23% compared to Bitcoin’s 12%. This divergence highlights the continued preference for gold as a preferred hedge against uncertainty.
