Why has gold outperformed bitcoin? Tom Lee explains the real reason behind it.

According to a report by Bijie Network: Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee pointed out that the surge in gold prices breaking through $2,800 per ounce is attracting institutional funds to move away from bitcoin and ethereum, as investors seek safe-haven assets amid economic uncertainty. Although gold ETFs attracted over $10 billions in early 2025, cryptocurrency prices have remained stagnant even after ETF approvals, reflecting a typical risk-averse sentiment where funds prioritize stable assets during periods of market panic.
