Catenaa, Thursday, September 25, 2025-Deutsche Bank analysts said Bitcoin is following a trajectory similar to gold, predicting the cryptocurrency’s volatility will ease as regulatory uncertainty diminishes and institutional adoption rises.
In a research note released Monday, the bank’s team pointed to parallels between Bitcoin and gold’s early years, when skepticism and speculation fueled swings in demand. They said that as the digital asset integrates into mainstream portfolios, its market behavior is maturing.
Bitcoin’s 30-day volatility hit historic lows in August even as prices reached a record high, the analysts noted. That combination, they said, signals a potential decoupling between spot price surges and sharp volatility, a shift that could attract more traditional investors seeking stability.
The report also projected that by 2030, central banks may hold both gold and Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Emerging economies facing inflationary pressure could particularly benefit from using Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Deutsche Bank has previously described Bitcoin as “the 21st century gold.”
As of midday Monday, Bitcoin was trading at about \$112,897, down roughly 2 percent, according to The Block’s pricing data.
Separately, the bank said it is exploring tokenized deposits and stablecoins, including the possibility of launching its own product, as more financial institutions expand digital asset strategies.
