PANews reported on March 8 that according to CoinDesk, JPMorgan said in a research report that if Bitcoin (BTC) is comparable to gold in investors' portfolios, its market capitalization should rise to $3.3 trillion, which means that its price will more than double, but this may not happen due to the increased risk and volatility of this cryptocurrency. Gold is the best comparison for cryptocurrencies, given that investors view Bitcoin as a digital version of the metal, the report said.
"Most investors take risk and volatility into account when allocating asset classes, and given that bitcoin is about 3.7 times more volatile than gold, it is unrealistic to expect a notional amount of bitcoin in an investor's portfolio to be comparable to gold," analysts represented by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote. JPMorgan Chase & Co. said that if bitcoin is on par with gold in terms of "risk capital", then the implied allocation will fall to $0.9 trillion, which means that the price of bitcoin is $45,000, which is significantly lower than the current level of about $67,400, and the implied allocation of bitcoin in investors' portfolios has now surpassed gold after volatility adjustment.
Using a volatility of 3.7 to estimate the potential size of the Bitcoin ETF market means that the size of the Bitcoin ETF market is around $62 billion, the bank said. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of around $9 billion, some of which could be a rotational transfer of existing products. "This is a realistic goal that the potential size of a Bitcoin spot ETF could be achieved over time in two to three years, although most of the implied net inflows may represent a continued rotation of ETFs from existing instruments and venues," the report added. ”
