Their conclusion:
BOLD Index offers a compelling solution to investors keen to gain exposure to Bitcoin while mitigating risk. As the 'Digital Gold' moniker suggests, Bitcoin does indeed display some qualities that liken it to Gold, but its not yet solidified as a safe haven asset. Therefore, combining both Bitcoin and Gold in an index can leverage Bitcoin’s growth potential while using Gold as a hedge against volatility, ultimately delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. As digital assets continue to evolve, the dynamic between Bitcoin and traditional safe haven assets like Gold will remain a crucial topic.
