JPMorgan: Bitcoin outperforms gold and silver, with capital flows and momentum showing resilience

JPMorgan stated that under the backdrop of ETF fund outflows, deteriorating liquidity, and institutional deleveraging, gold and silver are under pressure, while Bitcoin shows greater resilience and relatively stable capital inflows.Gold ETFs recorded nearly $11 billion in net outflows in the three weeks leading up to March, and there was also a significant withdrawal of funds related to silver. Coupled with rising interest rates and a strengthening dollar, this has pushed precious metal prices lower. Meanwhile, Bitcoin funds continue to maintain net inflows, and market momentum is gradually improving. In terms of price performance, Bitcoin initially fell to the $60,000 range alongside risk assets at the onset of geopolitical conflicts but quickly stabilized thereafter, currently oscillating between $68,000 and $70,000, indicating that long-term capital is re-entering the market to support prices after the panic. Additionally, position and momentum data have also diverged, with institutional positions in gold and silver futures significantly declining since the beginning of the year, while Bitcoin futures positions have remained stable overall. Trend-following funds have shifted from "overbought" in precious metals to below neutral levels, exacerbating their downward pressure; Bitcoin, on the other hand, has rebounded from the oversold range, with selling pressure easing. Liquidity indicators show that the breadth of the gold market has fallen below that of Bitcoin, and silver liquidity has further weakened. JPMorgan believes that this change highlights Bitcoin's gradually emerging performance characteristics that differ from traditional safe-haven assets in the current macro and geopolitical environment.

Analysis: Ethereum is at a critical moment of success or failure in a high-risk balancing strategy

According to CoinDesk analysis, as the pressures from scalability challenges, quantum technology, and artificial intelligence continue to grow, Ethereum is at a critical juncture in high-risk balancing strategies. In the first three months of 2026, the Ethereum ecosystem faces multiple structural pressures. Vitalik Buterin sharply criticized the Layer2 scaling path at the beginning of the year, pointing out that many Rollup designs rely on centralized components and isolated environments, failing to truly inherit the security guarantees of the mainnet, leading to ecosystem fragmentation and inconsistent security assumptions.Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation has incorporated the threat of quantum computing into its recent planning, advancing research on LeanVM and post-quantum signature schemes. Internally, Tomasz Stańczak, the co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation, has left after about a year in office, a change seen as a signal of the foundation's internal realignment of priorities. Additionally, the foundation is accelerating its layout for decentralized AI research, attempting to position Ethereum as the "trust layer" for AI systems, used for verifying outputs, coordinating agents, and supporting machine-to-machine economic activities.Overall, Ethereum can no longer handle these issues in isolation; they are interwoven. The network is being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously, making it increasingly difficult to maintain balance. Unlike previous cycles, the current predicament is more about structure than short-term momentum. The short-term focus remains on mainnet scaling, with the planned Glamsterdam upgrade set to be a litmus test to determine whether the Ethereum network can successfully transform into a robust, quantum-resistant "trust layer" supporting the global AI economy.
