JPMorgan stated that in the recent context of the Iran conflict, Bitcoin has exhibited characteristics similar to safe-haven assets, showing greater resilience compared to gold and silver. Data shows that gold prices have fallen by about 15%, while gold ETFs have seen nearly $11 billion in outflows, and the inflows previously accumulated in silver ETFs have essentially been completely reversed. In contrast, Bitcoin has experienced net inflows during the same period, indicating relative strength.Analysis points out that gold and silver were previously at high levels, and with rising interest rates and a strengthening dollar, the market has seen profit-taking and position reductions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has attracted inflows during this phase, demonstrating a different funding behavior compared to traditional safe-haven assets. Additionally, on-chain data shows that cryptocurrency activity in the Iran region has significantly increased during the conflict, with users transferring funds to self-custody wallets and overseas platforms. JPMorgan believes that Bitcoin's characteristics of strong cross-border liquidity, support for self-custody, and 24/7 trading make it an important tool for capital transfer in environments of economic instability and capital controls.

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.
