BITmarkets has released findings from a recent review of user perceptions regarding digital assets and traditional stores of value. The survey, conducted among 669 users of the BITmarkets platform, indicates that 77% of respondents view cryptocurrencies as a store of value, with 71% identifying Bitcoin (BTC) as “digital gold.” Despite these views, 57% of participants reported not owning any physical gold.

“The interest of crypto investors in gold can be interpreted positively. The 43% minority who invest in gold is not small at all compared to the general public. This result can also be viewed as an indication that cryptocurrency users share an interest in protecting their assets against inflation, which is why they do not shy away from traditional safe-haven assets such as precious metals,” commented Peter Sumer, CEO of BITmarkets.

In 2025, both gold and Bitcoin reached their all-time high values, highlighting the concurrent rise in interest across traditional and digital asset markets.

The survey results provide insights into evolving investor behavior within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, particularly regarding asset diversification.
