[QCP Trading Head: Tether's Increased Holdings in Physical Gold May Be a Diversification Strategy, Bitcoin and Gold Can Coexist] Odaily Planet Daily News - According to QCP, its trading head Ivan Lee stated in an interview with Money FM 89.3 that as gold strengthens, crypto assets are also being incorporated into broader macroeconomic discussions. He pointed out that the concept of Bitcoin as 'digital gold' emphasizes its scarcity rather than replacing gold's role in the global reserve system. Ivan Lee noted that gold remains a widely accepted global reserve asset and can provide diversified support for crypto-related balance sheets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin and gold perform differently under varying macroeconomic conditions, with their trends not entirely aligned during risk-off environments and liquidity expansion phases. However, the two can coexist within investment portfolios.
