Capital inflows into real assets are accelerating, and the pace of Bitcoin's rise is slowing down.

2026-01-13 09:30:38

In the 2025 market, investor interest is shifting significantly towards tangible assets. Gold has risen to $4,450 per ounce, recording a 70% increase since the beginning of the year. Copper has also shown a 35% increase, indicating a strong demand for physical assets. In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around $92,350, representing a 6% decline since the start of the year.

Background on the Focus on Tangible Assets

Market analysts are analyzing this capital shift in conjunction with fluctuations in the fear index. Many institutional investors are increasingly seeking value in physical assets rather than the concept of Bitcoin as “digital gold.”

Analysts from 10x Research point out that traditional narratives around Bitcoin have not sufficiently attracted large institutional investors. Additionally, representatives from Amberdata emphasize that demand for Bitcoin from a national or institutional perspective remains limited.

Forecast for Future Market Trends

Mr. Harland of Re7 Capital suggests that the current correction phase may be a preparatory stage for the next growth phase, and some altcoins could potentially benefit from the shift away from tangible assets. However, as the investor shift towards physical assets continues, close attention is needed to how the relative positions of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, may change.
